Airbnb tests its own version of Snapchat's Stories for rentals

Engadget ------- Even Airbnb can't resist the urge to copy Snapchat, it seems.

You can view the resulting productions both on your phone and the web, and they appear to automatically link to places in the stories along with the related accommodations. Clearly, Airbnb sees this as a marketing tool -- you might be more likely to book a rental if you see examples of what people did during their stays. It doesn't hurt that this could get you to use the app beyond scheduling your own trips. To learn more click on the picture below to read the article.
