index.html: added link to Bitcoin Magazine under "Resources"

Bitcoin Magazine is now a part of the Bitcoin community, with over 3,000 readers and growing daily, a 2-year exclusive contract for US distribution at Barnes & Noble, and acceptance into /r/Bitcoin as an official Bitcoin community subreddit. I ask that the bitcoin website embrace this magazine as it is already being used as a viable tool for explaining bitcoin to newbies, bringing more interest to bitcoin, and legitimizing it in a nationally distributed, Forbes and Time magazine quoted medium.

Thank you.

Looking over the website, the only thing I see of concern is an implied endorsement of pornography. Surprisingly, I didn't notice any strong political propaganda, so perhaps that just slipped by. Still, might be worth giving the magazine a few months to see how it's managed. Also, if being shown on Bitcoin.org is a means of getting more business (which seems likely, since I'd never heard of it before this), perhaps it would be wise to ask such profit-driven businesses being listed to financially sponsor the maintenance and/or development of the website?

We pride ourselves on a being a neutral report of issues relative to not only Bitcoiners, but cryprography, e-commerce, internet economics, and internet politics and take our journalistic integrity seriously. That said, our website often features shorter articles more of a reflection of news whereas the printed magazine features articles with more in-depth focus on certain deeper issues.

As exposure is the ultimate goal, the magazine does not endorse pornography, gambling, or drug use. We're very careful what we allow in the print magazine especially. We will however report on the news as it happens on certain issues that are important to the community.

The Bitcoin Magazine is owned and operated by BitTalk Media, LTD in the UK, whose primary shareholders are all DCAO (Digital Commerce Advancement Organization) board members as well and we would be happy to support the Bitcoin project anyway we can.

The magazine has existed for 6 months now in digital form and over a month in print form. We are responsible to a contract with B&N to release to their stores and as such, concerns of content being inappropriate are unwarranted as it would risk our contract with them as well and permanently damage the relationship and trust with the community.

Looking forward to all solutions and helping to properly represent the Bitcoin community to the masses. Thank you.
