Also interesting that they add this after the Spurlock episode airs.
They may be moving in the 'acceptance' phase in regards to Bitcoins.

Topic: CNN adds Bitcoin ticker - page 3. (Read 3312 times)
It's pretty fucked up that the most "official" ticker symbol for BTC is one that no one really even uses. It's similar to calling a VCR an "XVC."
Even though this is a nice thing, they are even incapable of implementing this correctly (something that a 10 year old can do with minor coding skills).
'Latest XBT News' should be 'Latest BTC News'. Someone should contact them.

Interesting that they are treating it like a stock..
Everything is treated like a stock, including USD. 
Bitcoin (XBT) ??
Why are they calling it XBT??
Better late then never...

as long as they treating it I cant complain. Its a tad late though. Bloomberg had a ticker over a year ago.
Thats very good. When sites like google and CNN add support for quickly checking btc price, people will eventally see it. If they see a new ticket they will research it and that could potentially be a new adopter.
