Exactly what I've been seeing. I assumed as a Jr. Developer, I could take less money for the opportunity to hone my skills and eventually become a better member of the team.

I'm an entrepreneur at heart, but have been trying to find a junior design job so that I can improve my learning potential and get out of the home office.The problem is that I'm having an impossible time finding a job.I'm a competent designer, and HTML/CSS don't scare me, but these days that...
Lacking detail, but an interesting piece nonetheless. The novelty has probably worn off, and if you can't get beyond things most people never buy, like spa treatments and luxury items, then it's going to be tough to keep the momentum going.

It must work, because I'd wager that there are more spam blogs/sites than good blogs/sites. God help you if you try to find legitimate information on health or insurance.
Marketing. They need more inventory IMO. Many of my favorite destinations are sorely lacking in AirBnB rentals.
