I used to think airbnb was a direct for-profit, money grubbing ripoff of the pure-of-heart couchsurfing. Then I tried to use couchsurfing this year. Their website is virtually unusable. It looks like it hasn't been updated since 1995. They have a horrific profile system and verification process. They have one 500,000th of the audience they could have.

If you stagnate, you will be eaten. Just keep swimming.



Nicely said. I'll have to give you that. I used couch surfing a few years ago and distinctly remember thinking I should redo the site for them. I may have even written it on my profile.
