The Bitcoin Weekly Comes Alive

[kiba]

I surpassed the 25 articles milestone. Right now, it's 27.

That mean that the Bitcoin Weekly successfully published 27 articles into the public domain. We're still the largest public domain source in the bitcoin universe and we're planning to publish more.

That doesn't mean much when you're the only business that actually does this.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am working on the Bitcoin Weekly business database. It's still in early development.

What I hope the database will become:

This database will track data such as "dead" or "alive", stories that mention said business, related bitcoinweekly articles, who owns it, reviews, and much more. It will also contain disqus discussion thread about said business.

Here is our first business entry:

New article: http://bitcoinweekly.com/articles/webs-of-trust-and-how-to-decentralize-them

Business Database Development Update

http://bitcoinweekly.com/businesses shows all the businesses currently in the bitcoinweekly database. In each business profile, there is a discussion thread for that particular profile.

It's still in early development so it isn't that useful yet.
