Airbnb Is in Midlife Crisis Mode

Chesky explains that Histor Tihassically, people used AirBNB once or twice a year, so its design had to be exceptionally easy. Now the company is rebuilding for more frequent access. Open the app and you see a trio of icons that act as a gateway of stretch functions. Within a few minutes, Cheky and its Lieutenants are praising the icons, the retro style-a house for the traditional ferry rental, a hotel for service and a Jules Vern-Ish Hot-Air balloon. “We really thought about the metaphor deeply – what was the right visual to express the experience?” Says Connor. Once they decide on the balloon, they sprinkle how much fire they should be shaking from the basket. The icons were painted by the former Apple designer whose name Cheeky would not release. “He is somewhat secret weapon,” he says.

A less confidential weapon is cooperation with Chesky’s iconic, also former Apple, industrial designer Johnny Iv. Chesti’s North Star, it should be said, it’s Apple. “Steve Jobs, to me, like Michelangelo or Da Vinci,” he says. Despite never meeting the job, “I think I have done so deeply, professionally in such a way that very few people have done so that you can just start a technology company as a creative person and get on a rocket ship,” Chesky said. By appointing Iv’s Loveform Company and working with Jobs’ core associate, Chesky gets the taste of the famous Jobs/Iv dynamic. Ive himself does not compare that, but he praises Checi’s design. Iv says, “There are some strategic things that I hope that sometimes I use Brian, such as a fellow designer,” Iv said. “But most of our work ideas and the way we frame the problems and the scopes are in the vicinity.”

Another main part of the app is the profile page. Chesky said – “You need faith,” a verifiable identity. AirBNB is examining new vendors, which is called “service host”. For months, Chesky has said that a background researchers have chefs, photographers, manicurists, masesus, hair stylists, makeup artists, personal trainers and aesthetics who provide spas treatment such as facial and microdermabrson are verifying their recommendations, licenses and recommendations. They are all being photographed professionally.

For the next episode AIRBNB user profiles are turned into primary Internet ID-Konar and its team are employed in some remote tests. He visits a list of technologies used to prevent fraud on official ID cards with biometrics, hologram and reactionary ink. However, it is easy to be a private identity utility (hello, Facebook), and even Cheesky notes that the government is taken to adopt an AirBNB certificate to verify the identity “an extended target”.

Now that the whole people have new reasons for chatting with each other and adjusting the plan, AirBNBO’s messages have increased. Travelers shared experience can form communities, stay in contact, even share videos and photos. “I don’t know if I want to call it a social network, because of the scandal related to it,” said AirBNB’s CTO. So they employ a vague word. “We think of it as a connection platform,” he says. “You are watching us making more things above it, though we are not an ad system, thank you for righteousness.” (My own observation is any profitable company that can host advertisement, but whatever)))
