Back in 2004, while working for eBay in The Netherlands, I was able to work on an interesting project. The project was code named Manhattan, and resulted in the acquisition of the largest classifieds site in The Netherlands, Marktplaats.nl, and eBay’s entry into the classifieds business.

I just found out that I’m allergic for a certain type of antibiotics; Amoxicillin. And I found out the hard way, loosing a full week in the painful process. From now on, I’ll have to carry a note saying what medication I cannot have, as the next time I get an attack after taking these […]
On Parenting, School Policy and Avoiding Diabetici
Seriously I don’t get certain parents. If school policy says “no sugar allowed in school” why do you bring cupcakes for your sons birthday. Deyan cannot have sugar, and if he does eat it, eventually he can become a diabetic. No fun! So don’t expect me to help you carrying 2 trays of cupcakes into […]

Planning a Content Marketing with In-Page Analytics?
With the launch of a new city in the Neighborhood project, Los Angeles, Airbnb just launched the largest number of city Neighborhoods so far, 61. I really enjoyed day dreaming with the great pictures of Neighborhoods like Malibu, Santa Monica, Venice or Hollywood. Maybe one day we will have the chance to move and live in Los Angeles, which has always been a secret […]
Airbnb Blog Running on WordPress, Genesis & Websynthesis
With Posterous closing, a race started a couple of weeks ago to move the Airbnb blogs from Posterous to WordPress.

The Airbnb blogs are now running on […]
