There is a reason that long stretches of unemployment, accidents, and tragedies lead to divorce. It isn't because compassion is the default reaction to stress in most families.

Our experience with Wimdu: we found out about the site well before we found out who the Samwer brothers are and what they do (namely, rip off big sites). We accordingly signed up because hey, more exposure can't be a bad thing, right? Wim

Some good suggestions here. I've considered this issue a lot. Having lost many friends and family members to cancers of various types, and counting cancer survivors among my friends and acquaintances, I am very keenly interested in curing

This being the top comment, I'm assuming it got upvoted the most, but nobody chimed in verbal agreement. I'm posting from a 2007 Compaq 8510p with Windows XP, and having the browser bog down as if I've been hacked has been the sharpest remi

By far the biggest movement in porn since the internet is 'amateur'. That's because the internet has stripped profits away. It's like reality shows being the trend in television because expensive productions don't have as much profit mar

It's simple, but there are a lot of people who do not understand this. They don't realize the taxes from the system that funded childhood educations and college tuitions to result in an employable, knowledgeable, creative mass of first-wor

Ha. I see they've gotten around it temporarily by changing the link to airbedandbreakfast.com, as in this ad: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/vac/2983382098.html

What in the world was this downvoted for. Seriously. I was explaining a misunderstanding. For those who don't know, Airbnb has a posting-to-Craigslist option. It is not an auto-poster; rather, it formats a post into the html that'll be

I post ads every single day of the week. This is the first occurrence of the term being blocked.

To whomever is downvoting everything I am posting, tell me why. I think this is REALLY important. I didn't want it to pass without notice as when I posted the "Airbnb killer" link 10 days ago; that was worth noting too, but this is vital.

I think he's referring to what jeremydavid posted above: http://davegooden.com/2011/05/how-airbnb-became-a-billion-do... It's an inaccurate representation of what happened as well as a year-old story, and I don't think it has much releva

This isn't about them allowing postings via airbnb, but rather not allowing the string "airbnb.com" to appear in the ad.

I operate vacation rentals and my family makes part of our living through Airbnb, and thus have an interest in their continued growth and success as a company.

1. You have a prime SF location and your fantastic reviews will always get you a high place in Airbnb's listings. SF and NY have enormous exposure. Enough people coming to town a) need an alternative to high hotel prices and b) are aware

I hope this submission gets noticed. Craigslist is the absolute best way to advertise Airbnb listings. Without it, we're kinda sunk, and it could have a big impact on Airbnb's bottom line.

Oh yeah, the Sagan thing. I was thinking more about the Voyager picture. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but Sagan requested that Voyager turn and take the picture as it exited the solar system, which is the reason we have it. I'd
