It's marketing. This entire play is a marketing play, it's all about how well you can sell it to that subculture. That's one of the subcultural buzzwords. I can understand how the lingo might be confusing to someone outside that scene.
AirBNB specifically banned one of my friend's listings but I suspect it was more they objected to the photos she posted of all the equipment. They have listings that include dungeons, which I think is great. But if you go to kinkbnb.com you know exactly what you are in for. That has its own appeal.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoSo it's fetlife + airbnb. Brilliant! Why isn't AWS offering managed Elastic Search As A Service yet? You could bolt sites like this together in hours now with Redis, RDS, S3, and ES (which is pretty much what fetlife runs on based on the devops job postings).
- tjcrowley 11y agoI bolted this together in an hour with a VM from my friends at Applied Ops, a hosting company I use for most of my stuff. I won't go to a large service and if I am running things at load I will only run my own stuff. I actually have this on an actual box - a FreeBSD server they turned up for me, it's not even breaking a sweat with what Huffington Post threw at me yesterday. I like having the hookup.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoNice! I love the idea and hope it takes off.
- tjcrowley 11y agoI like sex. People who don't should do us a favor and not have it so we can weed that out of the human race.

- lgas 11y agoThere are several options for managed Elastic Search available on Heroku's platform: eg. Bonsai, Found, SearchBox.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoI've found Heroku's tools and uptime to be....lacking.
