'It's almost like a paid way to make friends.' - love this :))
I stayed in like 4 airbn places in SV and learned:
1) That it certainly not for everyone, some ppl just dont need all this fun and pretty happy with avg hotel room.
2) If you think that its not for you, still please give it a try, there is a very serious chance that you will absolutely love it. (I was super skeptical too)
3) I dont pay Airbnb fee on second stay and just contact my 'paid friends' directly. They need to consider this and if its a problem in scale.
4) I absolutely love it and will only stay in hotel in worst case scenario if all my "paid friends" in area cant host me.

A common theme in Paul's argument is that "AirBnB could be the next eBay." But eBay's worst nightmare is buyers and sellers communicating directly, saving each other money while cutting the company out of the revenue loop. AirBnB is almost more like a dating service than a marketplace... a 'buyer' and 'seller' who prove compatible with each other will never need to use the service again, at least not in the same city.
