Similar to UberX carpool and Airbnb-like application

Two days ago to a trip to the North Sea, as you know, the North Sea user experience is not good, back on the train, I was thinking, if there is similar to the UberX and similar to the Airbnb of the collage application, then all the problems will be solved.

Maybe you've heard of Uber, but you may not know UberX, like the rival Lyft, Uber's UberX can get you to call a private car, and the driver is an ordinary person who has a bit of free time and wants to make a little money. And Airbnb is a netizen to share their own house application, can let you stay in ordinary people's home, and do not go to the hotel, after all, a real family than the hotel is much warmer, the price is very cheap, according to statistics, only Airbnb currently has more than 11 million residential transactions.

Similar sites abound, in BookCrossing, where you can share and deliver reading books, and on TaskRabbit, you just list things you want to find someone to do-whether you're queuing up to buy a ticket or a computer-and you can even go through parking Panda Rent your garage, rent your personal belongings through rentoid, and get help looking for your dog through DogVacay ...

Yes, I'm talking about the current wave of new economic waves sweeping the world--sharing the economy. In fact, we're going through a whole new business era, and today's consumers are abandoning traditional, inefficient businesses and switching to shared-enterprise arms to get the products and services they want.

Perhaps you have to say that such an example is too far away, in fact, at home, the sharing of the economy is moving from the concept to the day-to-day.

A chimera before the introduction of the new version of Easy letter "Carpool family" service, and just 2 months ago, the domestic Airbnb application of pig short rent and home network, as well as the class UberX application of PP car rental has announced a new round of financing, bustling capital operation behind the hidden is to share the fact that the economy is quietly rising at home.

The sharing of the economy is gradually penetrating into various vertical segments, with the exception of sharing unused rooms, idle cars, idle tools, and even idle hours, which are traded as resources to be shared. Where to go soon the locals provide another model-sharing time and experience. As long as there is sufficient time and a corresponding understanding of the tourist destinations can join the "locals", "locals" publish their own route planning and cost standards on the site, and visitors choose the appropriate items as needed, direct trading without travel agents and career guides, and visitors can experience more personalized and authentic travel, Individuals also derive benefits from them.

However, there are also many worries behind the sharing of the economy.

As early as 2011, Airbnb had a negative news, a landlord returned home, found his apartment was ransacked. In the first half of this year, a Manhattan man found his Airbnb tenant holding a sex party in his apartment. Security concerns are the most considered, and when I introduce my friends to carpool applications, their first reaction is almost always--how can you guarantee that I'm not calling a serial killer?

At home, there are more regulatory uncertainties, such as the risk of the illegal operation of carpool applications, while others share the issue of tax considerations and regulatory issues in their respective industries.

Predictably, on the one hand, these sharing applications have touched the rice bowls of many traditional vested interests and will surely encounter some "treatment" such as negative reporting and policy interdiction. On the other hand, in order to cultivate user habits, this type of sharing in the domestic application has to be in and will be in a long-term "burning money" status, can survive this "winter" remains to be seen.

However, there are already some more mature solutions in the US market, such as UberX's two-way scoring and evaluation system, which Airbnb $1 million worth of damages for rented homes (the poor Manhattan Man was awarded 24000 dollars before, and provide free hotel accommodation during the Airbnb for their house cleaning.

What's more, sharing has always been just a need (for example, I now have a lot of sons have read the book, want to swap with other spicy mom and dad, but with the help of the mobile internet era of the East wind, so that sharing becomes more convenient, but also let the internet era of Peer-to-peer from the line to the line.

This is a very exciting time, perhaps in a few years, or even months, the sharing of the economy will permeate all aspects of our lives, by then, mobile internet-style travel will be more simple and comfortable, similar to the North Sea tragedy will no longer exist.
