This is one way to replicate the scroll magic from this annual report: http://prinzhorn.github.com/skrollr/. It's really user-friendly and uses keyframes for timed actions based on scroll position.

Really impressive layout and visuals. I know some folks have complained about the "long form scroll" as being less usable than linked pages broken up by section, but I'm a fan nonetheless. The more I use the web / tablet / phone, the more I find I prefer sites that put all of their content on a single scrolling page. It just feels easier to digest.

In this case, honestly, I probably wouldn't have clicked through each section if it were in a more traditional layout -- I would have looked, said "cool", and moved on.

But as it stands, I scrolled through the whole page from top to bottom and AirBNB delivered the full experience to me, as intended.

FWIW, they also put out a very nice print version of the annual report. Don't know if it's available on PDF but in paper-form, it's quite well designed.

This is very nicely done, and the numbers show AirBNB has grown to be a powerful force in the travel industry.

Given this growth, I hope they are working on an official response or plan to address the problems they are having in New York City seen here:

Beautiful presentation. Airbnb's product is something that can spark emotion more than most services. I love how they brought that to their annual report.

This is a lot like the MailChimp one. http://mailchimp.com/2012/

Really cool. Dunno how I missed this previously but it's awesome and fun library. Like a pop-up book for the web generation.
