Working Bitcoin Exchanges

So, in the wake of the mt.gox hack / dox-drop, the people who were dox’d and those who had $$ and BTCs in there are in for some hurtin, and even those with nothing in their accounts seem to be itching to flee to other exchanges  That is not at all what the press about it has been tho (bitcoin hacked, worthless, end of bitcoin, etc..)  The fact that today, the exchanges which ARE operational, BTCs are trading around $13 ea. – not too bad really – and one could say, mighty resilient.  Haters gotta hate tho!!
The lesson here, may be one of centralization in a Peer-to-Peer economy.  It’s  fascinating to read the haters’ response to this bump in the road.  End of bitcoin eh?  Ok, if you say so, Mr. Tim Worstall, sage of  Forbes Mag. who ends his hit-piece with the astute observation of: “It’s difficult to see what the currency has going for it.”
So, re: some working, operational Bitcoin exhanges: Bitcoin7, and Tradehill.  A more comprehensive list, also at bitcoincharts.
