It will be interesting to see how AirBnB maintains the listing quality as it scales which I would argue is currently its main advantage over VRBO, HomeAway, Craigslist, et al. These types of sites tend to devolve into a homogeny of bland, "professional" listings, hence HomeAway's boring rollup strategy. What has made AirBnB somewhat unique and appealing has been the interesting listings and the care and personality of the property owners.
