(1888PressRelease) August 21, 2011 - Airbnb announced a $50,000 insurance policy and the formation of a 24/7 customer support hotline Monday after two users recently said their use of the company's travel services had left them the victims of vandalism and theft.
Up to this point, Airbnb - a website that connects travelers with people who are willing to host travelers - had been on a hot streak: It had landed high-profile celebrity and tech investor Ashton Kutcher as an advisor, as well as a funding round of $112 million, which valued the company at $1.3 billion.

Citing a source familiar with the election process, the Swiss paper SonntagsZeitung said Merkel favoured Hildebrand and also convinced Sarkozy to back him. In exchange, Switzerland had to support Christine Lagarde to head the International Monetary Fund, the paper said.aliferguson « previous next » |
