  Ha I blame the poor title for that post. Who wants to sleep under a kitchen table. :)

  > You know, I'm not a big fan of Facebook, but this site should use it for vetting. You don't know much from a name, picture, and some attributes, but in all honesty I'd be more inclined to trust someone (at least to not be a psycho killer) after looking at their drunk pictures and wall posts than anything any central authority could issue. Quite a prophetic reply, I gotta say.

  The criticism wasn't wrong. Most people on AirBNB aren't using it for couch/extra room rental (because that market is really small). They failed at that and had to pivot to being a platform for vacation rental companies.
