I guest-blogged the following article about bitcoin in V3 Integrated Marketing's blog. The head honcho at V3 is the well-known social media marketer Shelly Kramer
http://twitter.com/shellykramer , who is a friend of mine on Twitter (my handle:

I think this is the first use of the slogan "Cash At A Distance" to describe bitcoin.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Open_Transactions He points out that bitcoin is not completely anonymous as it stands, which is quite correct. I think, though, that to the common user, it requires more technical acumen and wherewithal than they possess to do the traffic analysis required to traceback a bitcoin transaction to a real person.
