Hi Eric,
Yes, I would happily pay a larger percentage to Airbnb for background checks provided they upped the amount they would reimburse me for damages. I hadn’t considered leasing my place for the DNC but that isn’t a bad idea! I am a little nervous about renting my place because I have a lot invested in my living room furnishings, but am con…[Read more] -

Hi March,
I agree with you that companies need to respond promptly when managing a crisis situation. The recent unfortunate air tragedies in the South Pacific are great examples of how important it is to get it right when dealing with a crisis. AirAsia and Malyasia Air handled their accidents very differently as explained in an article titled…[Read more] -

Hi Cataldo,
How are Uber’s prices? I heard they can sky rocket during peak periods, like during New Year’s Eve. Is that true? Do Uber drivers often respond faster to requests for transportation than traditional taxi services? -

Hi Amanda,
My experiences have been great, like yours. When I was in Antwerp last fall our hosts could not have been nicer and the breakfast they served daily was served with care and pride. My flat in Aix –En-Provence was as nice and that host, was also welcoming and met us with a smile. We were so impressed with her that we left her a thank y…[Read more] -

Nil,
I agree with you 100%. I am a big fan of CNN but at times get turned off to all the pundits who speculate about everything under the sun. Since there is such an incredible media response to virtually everything significant that does on today, your advice is spot on. I’ll add that whatever information is offered by the company to defend i…[Read more] -
Diane R. Eigner commented on the post, Reading Question: Can you trust Yelp ratings?, on the site 9 years, 8 months ago
I am very biased when it comes to Yelp! after some very bad experiences. The worst was when a client who didn’t follow my recommendations to schedule an appointment with a specialist went on Yelp! to slam me for the resulting loss of her cat’s eye. I shared with Yelp! to no avail the result of a veterinary medicine board inquiry that showed tha…[Read more]

I suspect that most large businesses have the funds to do a lot to prioritize security, but as a business owner who is acutely aware of how vulnerable I am to any security breaches, I think that the risks associated with using technology are worth the benefits technology offers. I think we practice medicine better due to our EMR utilization and I…[Read more]

If I were a crisis counselor for Airbnb I would follow the advice I found online at http://mashable.com/2011/07/29/airbnb-pr-crisis/. The site does a good job of showing how companies have to absolutely be credible when they respond to a crisis and that anyone who gets involved in responding needs to know their facts. A response to the article…[Read more]

My hospital implemented and EMR system in February of 2010, and like Paul, I got a lot of resistance from staff. I chose to let my practice management software provided configure and supply my hardware, to avoid finger pointing and included in the configuration any security appliance or software they recommended. All was well until pornographic…[Read more]

In my response to Eric’s post about Airbnb I mentioned that I love using Airbnb, and am even considering offering my home for use when the Pope is in town. Yet, I have never used Uber. I’m turned off to the fact that my perception is that Uber is really more about discontents than people focused on providing an exceptional experience. It nev…[Read more]

When I rented an apartment in France through an apartment renting service, I was asked to provide copy of my passport along with other information. When I helped my son lease an apartment while in college, I had to complete an application that included providing my social security number and I was informed that the landlord or the landlord’s r…[Read more]

Hi Eric,
I have used Airbnb very successfully, mostly in Europe. I read reviews carefully and have yet to be burned. My last stay in Antwerp more than met my expectations. It never occurred to me to consider running any kind of background check on my host. My associates who have young children and use it when they travel due to the…[Read more] -

Hi Nil.
I had a really awful experience with Yelp after a young woman failed to follow my medical advice and her cat’s eye needed to be removed. She slammed me on Yelp and everywhere she could. Yelp refused to take her comments down even when we provided them proof that when the State Board investigated they found no grounds for her complaint.…[Read more] -

I’ve always want to put a GoPro on my cats to see what they are up to during the day. Anybody try one on their dog or cat?

I like it too and think when I recently used it my Outlook calendar automatically update when I made the reservation. Love when that happens! I’m married to the Windows ecosystem so love when things integrate well. I keep class notes and other types of notes in One Note and really like that my Windows phone has a One Note tile.

I’m a big fan of the updated windows mobile version of FitBit’s app. I’m obsessed with how many steps I take and love that my phone sinks with my Fit Bit One to keep me updated as the day goes on. I log food eaten too, and like that I can do that on the go. I’m pretty competitive, so like seeing how many steps my sister-in-law has logged – it…[Read more]
