These articles do a great job of showcasing Bitcoin, brilliant work by Joerg, Mike and the others who appear in it. We should have it up on the press page at the top of the list so other media outlets can see how it can be done.

A couple related clips featuring Berlin's Bitcoin Kiez neighborhood in the last week or two:

Maybe there should even be a dedicated subsection. The Kiez is quite unique and experience seems to indicate that seeing ordinary people walk into a shop and trade Bitcoins face to face turns coverage from negative to positive really, really fast! We saw this effect in 20minuten in Switzerland too.

A featured subsection for the Kiez is a good idea. Berlin is really shaping out to be the Bitcoin Mecca, for the time being. Just yesterday, the new "Bitcoin accepted here" stickers (an initiative of Joerg's, naturally) started going up in shop windows here:

ACK for adding this nice video on the top of the press coverage.

Maybe instead of a dedicated subsection we can go with sunnankar proposition to somehow create some "bio" space for each interviewees and put more stuff there? Actually, it would be good to explicitely mention the country and the languages for each interviewees along with a more extensive description.
