good news!
good news!!
Let's be realistic this is probably nothing to do with Baidu management or employees but some techy in a newly acquired subsidiary who convinced the boss to accept Bitcoin for their DDoS protection service.
"Hey Boss, let's make some money... you know, for us. Our wifes and kids. Here's how we do it..."
Just 1 well known company starts accepting it aaaand 
Twitter, right after their IPO.
Keep going! 
Just one (a small one) of many services of Baidu trying to accept bitcoin. I don't think that is a big deal at all. I will only be impressed if their advertisement service begins accepting bitcoin.
Will the Chinese Gov. allow that in the long run?
Who knows.
The Chinese are very upset with the dollar, and would be happy to undermine it. That is evident from even a cursory glance at the news.
Maybe they see Bitcoin as a political opportunity.
It would be a smart political play from their perspective in my opinion as it relies less on the US backed debt-securities and rather on something that they can make into a global trading mechanism

That's good news for the bitcoin community ! From experience quite a few of friends and even clients started to use / accept bitcoin for their product as we try to take the time to explain about bitcoin when asked about it. There is so much information about it but what we noticed is that sometimes people don't need to know all the technical ins and outs of bitcoin to understand it and use it.

It depends on how Baidu works internally and how much freedom is given to subsidiaries. For a big company like Baidu they should have all these rules written.
Interesting how the following chart resembles recent Mt Gox's rate:

Sounds like a perfect pump and dump too me.. techie from acquired subsidiary buys as much bitcoin as he can afford, and tells his friends and family to do the same.. btcchina exchange rate gets a nice volume/price ramp up.. make the Baidu announcement and watch the price go to the moon and sell..
me rikey!

I accept there is a realistic probability that this is the case (as I acknowledged). However, we should know this pretty soon if it is the case because the publicity will force the hand of the mother company to do some research as to its legitimacy. They could embrace it, just let the experiment run even if it wasn't deliberate or, if China really doesn't want Bitcoin to be more than a minuscule novelty, instruct them to quietly drop it.
Despite my initial skepticism, I agree. This is making headlines and will have the full attention of Baidu leadership. The next week or so will reveal whether this was just the action of an overenthusiastic employee.
