Since media coverage of BitShares X is expected to increase in the near future I thought we might start something like a press review thread.
Bitcoin triggers security startups

Quote: "To reduce the risk of currency-exchange website owners stealing users’ money, Larimer and his team of more than 15 full-time employees are building BitShares, a Bitcoin exchange where the participants jointly run and manage the operation.
While users usually have to trust their money and data to a private company to buy and sell Bitcoins, the members of BitShares also double as safekeepers. Since the technology will be distributed as bits of software across members’ computers, no single person will have access to all of the money or the central system.
“No company can run away with your funds, so you don’t have to worry about that,” Larimer said. “There’s no central place to rob.” His exchange is on track to debut this year, he said."
Maybe one day there will be some good articles where the journo has actually understood what BitShares is. We're not quite there yet.

There also seems to be strong buyer interest in the past 2 weeks, awareness is definitely growing
