Hacking Word-of-Mouth: Making Referrals Work for Airbnb (nerds.airbnb.com) 19 points by gustaf 12y ago ↗ HN
[–] gavinballard 12y ago ↗ Great write up, really enjoyed it.One thing that I feel I've noticed is that AirBnB doesn't actively inform you when you have or earn referral credit. I had a nice surprise the other day when I booked a place and got it (nearly) for free.Is that a conscious decision on AirBnB's part? [–] gustaf 12y ago ↗ Stay tuned. We've gotten a lot of feedback around this and will get a lot better at this.
