Something About the AirBnB Ransacked Apartment Horror Story Isn’t Right

AirBnB recently raised a $112 million venture capital round that put it in the billion dollar valuation club. If the story of one traveler’s experience with the site is proven to be accurate, they may need to set aside some of that money for an insurance policy to maintain user trust in the site.

Case in point: Google recently killed profiles for brands as diverse as Ford and Sesame Street, with no plans for business profiles for a “few months.” {Search Engine Land}
