From the Ted Talk by Joe Gebbia: How Airbnb designs for trust

Unscramble the Blue Letters


This was my first hosting experience, and it completely changed my perspective. Maybe the people that my childhood taghut me to label as satrrengs were actually friends waiting to be discovered. The idea of hstniog people on airbeds gradually became natural to me and when I moved to San Francisco, I buhgrot the airbed with me.

So now it's two years later. I'm unemployed, I'm almost broke, my raomomte moves out, and then the rent goes up. And then I learn there's a design conference coming to town, and all the hotels are sold out. And I've always believed that tnuirng fear into fun is the gift of creativity.

Original Text


This was my first hosting experience, and it completely changed my perspective. Maybe the people that my childhood taught me to label as strangers were actually friends waiting to be discovered. The idea of hosting people on airbeds gradually became natural to me and when I moved to San Francisco, I brought the airbed with me.

So now it's two years later. I'm unemployed, I'm almost broke, my roommate moves out, and then the rent goes up. And then I learn there's a design conference coming to town, and all the hotels are sold out. And I've always believed that turning fear into fun is the gift of creativity.
