#22I endorse our new food-based system of rating companies, and expect it will eventually displace Moody's and S&P. We're not Alinea-profitable yet, but we're definitely comfortably in Chili's territory. =)

#24Nice idea, since they help the renter to bill the room. I'm always a bit surprised that new segment between B&B, Vacation Rentals and hotels are invented. Is it that people think those existing segments are well served?
It's the geographical diversity that gives this kind of thing an advantage. Hotels, B&B's and vacation rentals are highly clustered in either heavily commercial or tourist areas. If you want to just get the feel of how "regular" people live in "regular" parts of town, this kind of segment has a real advantage, especially if you are a social person who likes talking to people first thing in the morning....

#25I'm not seeing dramatically different prices to a hotel or hostel, but it is a good idea. Take Paris for example: http://airbnb.com/travel/paris/fr?y=0&min_price=&lng...
A lot of the value I see in this is visiting places that don't have hostels. Like basically anywhere in the US for example :)

really, you don't think there are lots of hostels in the US? I've stayed in quite a few, both in big and small cities.
