Can I Stay with You....

@samhouston Sam you are definitely right. This is a niche audience. But there is such a strong sense of community already surrounding Airbnb. We wanted to provide a frictionless way for hosts to meet and help each other.

@samhouston I'm actually more interested in hosting other Airbnb hosts than in actually hosting traditional guests. I think this is partially that I don't want to do the work to make cash on airbnb, but I like the idea of chilling with new people for a night.

@willimholte Sounds like you'd be interested in Couchsurfing over Airbnb.

@samhouston Yeah, I've been meaning to update my couch surfing profile, it's about 4 apartments out of date.

@willimholte we're currently in startup chile working on something exactly along these lines. http://www.horizonapp.co/how-it-... @samhouston

@shanev pretty much.

@shanev that was also used as the descriptor in this Business Insider article, just written by @MattRosoff.

@shanev @MattRosoff @rrhoover I thought we nailed it with "Airbnb for Airbnb" but it turns out "Couchsurfing for Airbnb" actually does fit the product more.... Who knew?

@brackin this is the best feedback we've received so far. Thanks much. Seriously.

@brackin @micahkulish good is the key here. @thetylerhayes, @owenfi, and I have been hosting a friend who is moving his company to SF for a few months. Love having him on the couch, hate that he pays us in Tecate.

@brackin @thetylerhayes @owenfi @willimholte To be honest, good beer is a key part of our business model. Without it, the entire community crumbles.

@thetylerhayes @owenfi @willimholte @micahkulish I hosted some guests that were friends of friends. On the last day they left a nice note and three six packs of great beer! Was amazing.

@zackshapiro when we created Can I Stay with You While I Rent My Place on Airbnb' our main goal was to figure out how to resurrect xzibit's classic meme. thanks for the love!

@micahkulish mission accomplished
