AirBnB looks too good to be true! You pay to rent a place to sleep around the world for a night or two. It’s a capitalist CouchSurfing.
Mentioned in Get Rich Slow, Time mag article about starting new companies on a micro budget (ie, the rational way). Via Amit Gupta.
I totally thought up the bad version of this once: A collective of couchsurfers spread across each city, so if you were stranded far from home after the trains stopped, you’d have access to the home of some other member in the neighborhood. In my version it was something like everyone had keys that went into all the locks, or some such bullshit.
