is there such a thing as a soft troll?

There are several good news about the bitcoin adoption but still ebay hasn't implemented btc for real, I'm waiting for it.
Great news, unless AOL :/
This is good for bitcoins because it means that the adoption is spreading among all the major and minor companies, the future is really bright 
Good to know that someone high up in executive hierarchy isn't a flaming asshole 
Yes, indeed good new.
But you gave really good hints to peope identify where you work, if they really implement Bitcoin as payment and it goes to the news(Internet pioneer - sidestepped by other companies - with branches around the world - probably they have no 3th part network stuff).

I am a network guy and I work for a company that used to be one of the internet pioneers. Recently however, we have been sidestepped by other companies a bit, but we are still around and trying to turn things around with new software that frankly is pretty awesome. Anyway, we had an all hands meeting the other day and after the meeting I went up to our CEO and asked him what's his opinion on taking BTC as a form of payment. I was expecting a very short answer that was negative, and to my surprise it was completely the opposite. He seemed very interested and asked me question after question about mining, MT GOX, alt-coins etc. We spoke for a bout 5 minutes and afterwards he told me to send an email to some of the guys way up on the pole and CC him, which I did! I'm SO EXCITED! I feel like i just asked a girl out to prom 
What country is your company?
Bitcoin transaction only work well for cross border trade. For local trade, it is usually best to use cash or credit card.
How is cash/card still better?
For instance, I need to make a payment for some goods I bought this morning and need to pay via bank transfer. Pain in the arse, need to logon and setup a new recipient, receive a call from my bank confirming the new recipient, then able to transfer funds.
With BTC, I could of sent to his address in seconds.
What did you buy your good and why is the company only taking bank transfer?
What country is this?
i have not gotten an email reply back yet!
hmmmmmm m
it's been 36 hours!

it's been 36 hours! It's just a matter of time. People has to absorb this new channel of payment. It will explode very soon.
It's already exploded a few times I think we've made good progress and of course I think there will be more explosions and finally Bitcoin will become mainstream...thats the day when we all celebrate and stop seeing threads about cashing out in fiat.
Our company started accepting bitcoin for online purchases last year.
So far, 2 orders have been paid with bitcoin, one with 0.0463BTC and the other with 0.3275BTC.
We typically receive about $35,000.00 in credit card payments on about 50 orders per month.
Bitcoin is presented as a payment method on every order right next to credit card and PayPal options.

This is great news especially since people are always so shy about mentioning bitcoin for getting a negative answer for you to get a positive one and it seeming to start to get the ball rolling for a company to potentially start allowing this as a form of payment. I really hope you get even more positive answers from the people higher up and this starts becoming a payment option for another company
I would disagree that people are shy about mentioning bitcoin to others. I think that people that own bitcoin have an incentive to mention it to others as it will get more people to use it and cause the bitcoin they own to increase in value.
It's IBM
Do they even have direct to consumer products?
E-mail, but I was joking about it being Yahoo! simply because that really did pop in my head as I read the first two sentences. The bit about the NAT was meant to allude to that. Come on guys, the OP obviously works for Yahoo! I knew that within the first two sentences. Not sure why Yahoo! is using a single NAT IP for all of their employees, though... 
Hahahhaha DAT NAT is actually not for "all employee" but for one floor in one office.
Anyway.. When was the last time you bought anything off of yahoo ? Just saying .... Do they even have direct to consumer products?

and she said welll.... maybe LULZ. Very interesting! Thank you for taking the initiative to do this! Things like this will help pave the way forward for bitcoin. The more companies that use it the more people will look at it and say hmm, all these companies are accepting it as payment, it must be legit! That will help user adoption in the long run and finally get us going forward on a path that gets away from USD
Great news this is going to benefit a lot of us well all of us who use bitcoin.

I've suspected the Yahoo/China connection would covet Bitcoin as their edge.

Never thought about Yahoo.
I initially thought it might of been AOL or something like that?
Are AOL even still on the go?
