Chesky is a talker.  Very entertaining guy.  But ultimately he is running illegal hotels.

His crap about "were talking, always talking, blah blah blah, open conversations"

"were having open converstaions" blah blah

It's just talk.  He's wrong.

Can a lady down the street just start selling pizza's out of her apartment or house?

Does she need to be inspected?

Are there laws about food cleanliness and preparation?

YES.  YES there are.

Airbnb is how bad guys will travel around the world.

Its damn dangerous.

As it gets bigger the problems will come and how will Brian Chesky feel when the first MURDER is announced?

Will he say... well that's just 1 murder.

That's just 1 terrorist using airbnb to get around.

That's just 1 bomb.

Brian is a great dancer around the issue.

Come on Brian -- just say it -- your illegal in much of New York.

He cant even admit it and wont.

Because they are flouting the laws.

The Amazing part is how many politicians they have tried to win favor from.

Why isnt Airbnb shut down yet?

facebook would have lost social if the SEC didnt allow facebook to buy instagram.

facebook got lucky they were allowed to buy their biggest threat.

zuck screwed up by being late to mobile.

and when he finally arrived on mobile he got it wrong by making facebook as an HTML5 app

seriously

zuck screwed up 

and only redeemed himself by buying instagram which should never have been allowed.

anti-trust laws should have prevailed.

but our gov is slow and stupid.

here is a real hero for you sarah

not sheryl.  sheryl's writing a self promotion book while the rest of facebook is working their butts off to try to win at mobile.

I guess she has a lot of time on her hands :)

her billion dollar wealth is unearned.

seriously... she's just a self promoter.

@trillestevar @condofranca  total crap.  worked her way up.  your kidding.  ask people there.  whatever.

nascent startups.  yeah right.  she used government connections to get into EXPLODINGLY SUCCESSFUL businesses and take a FAT PIECE of Facebook.

She had ZERO business experience.  Even listening to her talk business is embarrassing.  She spits out the company line like a robot.

and in her own words she rode someone else's rocket.

like the painter --- she was just very lucky and has no right giving people advice.  the lottery winner really didnt earn her $.

here's a FEMALE winner for you and I can give you many more examples of real winning females....

Sarah,

Early in its life, believe it or not, Facebook paid a mural painter in shares instead of cash for their offices.

This normal painter is now worth $500 million dollars:

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/07/facebook-graffiti-artist-could-be-worth-500-million/

Does he have the right to give us advice?  Is he a winner?

NO.  

That is how I feel about Sheryl Sandberg and Eric Schmidt and Meg Whitman.

They got hugely lucky.  Total luck out!

Sean Parker (Facebook's first president) in his Ted Talk stated that the executives at Ebay once said "A Monkey Could run these Network Effect Businesses" 

So who the hell is Sheryl Sandberg to go around giving normal women like me advice.

Sheryl Sandberg clearly got lucky.

She DID NOT earn it.

She had ZERO business experience before Google hired her.

Google hired her because she had connections within our government not because she knew how to run a sales team.

Tell Sheryl to go out and start her own company and be successful at it... and maybe then we can talk.

Franca C.

Sarah,

Its a social network.

All this crap about it being for X,Y,Z -- whatever Kevin.

Its a social network.

That what everyone uses Instagram for.  That's what scared Zuck into pay a billion for it.

It is shameful that the FTC/SEC allowed the Number #1 Social Network Facebook buy the #2 Social Network Instagram. That should have been blocked on anti-trust grounds. Instead our dumb government allowed Facebook to limit competition in Social Networking and what we get is MONOPOLY PRICING and PRIVACY VIOLATIONS.
