@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.
@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!
My buddy @jwmares bounced around a similar idea with me several months ago. I know some people occasionally rent out their apartment in SF and crash at a friends house to mitigate the ridiculous housing cost in the city.
@micahkulish how are you matching people up? Perhaps a doodle-like calendar picker would help people find a time they're both available.
@rrhoover As @micahkulish said, we've kept it pretty rudimentary, but we also thought the simplicity is great for the audience and keeps it a little more personal as well. Airbnb is already a pretty tight-knit community, so creating something that will help hosts help each other out will be even more tight-knit. So, at the moment we're simply making intros.
@rrhoover right now our "match-maker" is extremely rudimentary. we built this product in about three days. we wanted to release it and then begin adding features to better match users.
