Airbnb: The Ebay for the Entire House
- albahk 16y agoMeta comment on terrible experience from Forbes website: * Interstitial ad after clicking through; * Short article spread over 2 pages unnecessarily; * Hitting 'back' to return to HN a survey form pops up which I had to dismiss before I could return to HN. Do they not see how ad-driven and user-hostile their site is?
- Aetius 16y agoThey are listening, but can't hear because of the constant kachinging of their registers. Edit: Also, the Forbes brand looks much better when it is on a newstand or sitting on a shelf in every waiting room that matters.
- ghurlman 16y agoReadability[1] hid most of that from me; it's rare I don't use it on a mass-media site these days. [1] http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/ http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/
- tzury 16y agothe only thing is that it is better to apply the readability bookmarklet on the print-version (single) page.

- brc 16y agoMichael - I think you might have taken me a bit more literally than is accurate. What I meant is that I know of several holiday homes in my area that sit empty most of the time. Nothing major, just a few houses. A 'lot of inventory' was probably a poor choice of words. For the record, I looked and there are a few sellers in my area but so far no reviews (or transactions?). The area is south east QLD in Australia. It's a popular 'getaway' location for people in Brisbane and Sydney.
