Love it. One bit of feedback: 'Order Your Copy' should give me a bit of text before asking me to connect with Facebook - maybe just the basics, price, etc... There just isn't quite enough information for me to take that leap despite it being the immediate call to action on the page. Otherwise: great!
Yea, I didn't design the first version. Working on a redesign, but I just wanted to get it out there to test the new pricing model and demand.
But you connect to Facebook, then it shows you the price and you can pick a year, then it generates a preview and gives you the updated pricing depending on how many pages you have.
I'm all for AirBNB in NYC and otherwise, but the taxation issue is the real issue. I think other laws/zoning can and should be relaxed to accommodate them, but this is business - they need to pay their taxes to put everyone on a fair footing.
I agree. It's clear that (1) hotels aren't worth the cost; (2) people would rather 'live like locals'; and (3) distributing hotel management & maintenance is more effective that concentrating it in giant hotels.
Not to mention that the booking experience on Airbnb is way better than using the counterparts of hotels and hotel booking sites.
Main Site: Around 2000 IIRC, before it crashed, anyway. This was back in the days of Digg, and less robust hosting. Average is 150-250 at a time, less at night, more during the day.
Micro-Site: We set up an experimental just-for-fun site with a bit of a viral edge and got 1.1 million visitors in one day, mostly from China - it apparently front-paged on a few major sites over there.
Correct, but how certain are you that it will continue to deflate? It has already once lost 90% of its value in a short period after a parabolic rise. Could it not do that again?
If you are sure it will keep going up at this pace, why not take everything you own, sell it, and invest in (or: speculate on) Bitcoin? That's not a rhetorical question.
Personally, given its volatility, it doesn't make much sense to me to hold much in Bitcoin outside of what you plan to spend relatively immediately. It could go up or down by 50% overnight - not a great store of value, either way.
Some don't mind volatility as long as (a) the long-term expected gain is positive; and (b) the return is uncorrelated with more traditional investments.
