What is this different from http://www.couchsurfing.com/ http://www.couchsurfing.com/ ? Less people? Better layout? You even have to pay?

- fallentimes 18y agoIt sort of reminds me of the difference between Greyhound and Bolt Bus/Megabus
- omnipath 18y agoI have to ask, what is the difference?
- fallentimes 18y agoI think the barrier to entry (money, online access, etc) helps clear out the trouble makers. Sort of like making users register in order to comment. Bolt Bus can only (for the most part) be booked online and has free wifi. It also uses variable pricing based on demand (initial tickets usually are priced at $5 or less). Greyhound sort of does this, but it doesn't change as much. Consequently, Bolt Bus attracts professionals, college kids and much more uh...civilized...client base than Greyhound. At least that's been my experience and my friends' experience as a frequent user of both.
- mtw 18y agothis is a business. couchsurfing is the open source equivalent :)
- emmett 18y agoYou're thinking like a guest, not like someone listing a room. It's pretty obvious how it's different in that case.
