Airbnb and the "sharing economy."

I had no idea the air mattresses were to be taken literally. We used Airbnb in 2010, several friends have done so since, and there have been good experiences all around. Perhaps the next step for the 1117 East Spring Street Neighborhood Association is to get on the list?

Welcome to the ‘Sharing Economy’, by Thomas L. Friedman (NYT)

IT all started with air mattresses ...

... On July 12, (Brian) Chesky told me, “Tonight we have 140,000 people around the world staying in Airbnb rooms. Hilton has around 600,000 rooms. We will get up to 200,000 people per night by peak this summer.”
