Check out this article about how to send money online, no mention of Bitcoin!  I then replied to the author via twitter.  What do you guys think?

It's rather stupid that a tech-literate site like Lifehacker didn't mention Bitcoin.

What an idiot reply he gave you.  Some people are soooo stupid.  Why is he working for a tech website!? He leaves out a method that has over 1.5 billion market cap and fees next to nothing?  He is very closed minded.

Most people still have no clue what Bitcoin is. And many of those that do know are afraid of BTC. I say, their loss.  Wink

It's interesting that there's no mention of Bitcoin anywhere in the comments section as well as in this related articles: http://lifehacker.com/5821634/why-you-should-ditch-paypal-and-use-these-other-services-to-send-people-money

A quick search on the site shows that there are TWO articles about Bitcoins: http://lifehacker.com/search?q=bitcoin (one of it goes all the way back in 2011)

Comments was one of the first places I checked, and was surprised to see no mention of Bitcoin.  I never thought to check their whole site for articles about Bitcoin.  I think that 2011 article is the reason I got into Bitcoin.
