Was browsing the Ch4 catchup earlier and came across this documentary all about airbnb. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/airbnb-dream-or-nightmare I thought it would mainly be about the usual horror stories from users and hosts but it delved that much deeper and led to other other website discoveries.

Whomever wrote the code to extrapolate the data used by this website has gone to a hell of a lot of trouble.. http://insideairbnb.com/london/# Didn't Osborne stand up at the despatch box last budget and make things a hell of a lot easier for these shysters?
