More Than Just a Room: How Airbnb Can Help You Travel Like a Local -- on a Budget

YourUpdateTV

Want to travel like a local, but on a budget? Airbnb is a great option for those looking to experience a destination authentically without breaking the bank. Recently, Airbnb Superhosts, Rhonda Voo and Eric Alan conducted a satellite media tour to talk about their experience being Airbnb hosts and how it helped them connect with people and have authentic experiences. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/6OnoHquTFMg In the current economic environment, people want to travel affordably. And after years of being isolated during the pandemic, they're looking for ways to connect with people and have authentic experiences. With the pandemic finally over, this summer is anticipated to be the biggest travel season of all time. Airbnb is expecting a record 300 million people to travel and host on Airbnb this year. To prepare, Airbnb is making the most extensive set of improvements to the platform ever, starting with the introduction of Airbnb Rooms, an all-new take on the original Airbnb. They’re also launching over 50 new features and upgrades that address top feedback from our guests and Hosts across the end-to-end Airbnb experience. Introducing Airbnb Rooms Airbnb began as a way to stay in a room in someone else’s home. This original idea of sharing a home offers two unique benefits. First, it’s more affordable for guests. More than 80% of private rooms are under $100/night, with an average rate of $67/night. Second, staying with a Host is a great way to meet someone new and experience the city like a local. In the current economic environment, people want to travel affordably. And after years of being isolated during the pandemic, they're looking for ways to connect with people and have authentic experiences. Now is the perfect time to stay in a room in someone else’s home. But for even more people to try it, they have to feel comfortable staying with a Host. Airbnb Rooms, an all-new take on the original Airbnb. Guests have told us that they want to know more about who they're staying with. Every Airbnb Room features a Host Passport, which helps guests get to know their Host before booking their stay. Airbnb has also created a Rooms category with over 1 million listings, redesigned filters and added new privacy features. 50+ new features and upgrades based on Hosts and Guests feedback: In preparation for an anticipated record-setting travel season, Airbnb is improving nearly every aspect of their service, here are some of the upgrades: Host Passport - Exclusive to Airbnb Rooms, the Host Passport helps you get to know your Host before booking your stay. Simply tap the Host Passport to view a larger photo and details Hosts have shared about themselves, including where they went to school, what they do for work, a fun fact about themselves, the amount of social interaction during the stay, and much more. Airbnb Rooms category - Airbnb Rooms are easy to discover, with a new category featuring a curated set of 1 million private bedrooms. Each listing includes access to shared spaces, such as the kitchen, living room, and backyard. Redesigned filters - Redesigned the “type of place” filter to make it easy to switch between Airbnb Rooms, entire homes, or all types of places. It’s simple to view the average price for each type of place with an enhanced price filter that updates based on your choice. New privacy features - Privacy is important. All Airbnb Rooms will clearly indicate if the bedroom door has a lock. The listing page also shows whether the bathrooms are shared or private, and whether people other than the Host will be in the home during your stay. To improve our service, Airbnb took a design-driven approach. They started by storyboarding the guest and Host journey - from sign up to checking out and created a blueprint of the experience - every screen, every policy, and every interaction with customer support mapped out. Then, analyzed millions of customer service tickets and mapped them across the journey. They also reviewed thousands of social media posts and spoke with hundreds of thousands of guests and Hosts about how to improve Airbnb.

The Publisher Desk and Intermarkets Launch Ringside Intel, the News Leader in Sports Entertainment and Combat Sports

The Publisher Desk

The Publisher Desk and Intermarkets, two leading integrated audience development and growth partners for digital publishers, today launched Ringside Intel, a news and information site for sports entertainment, mixed martial arts, professional wrestling, and combat sports. Ringside Intel brings together some of the top sources for sporting news and analysis – Wrestle Newz, MMA Frenzy, Fightline, and Caged Insider – under a single banner and backed by one of the most experienced teams to cover the WWE, UFC, AEW, Bellator, and more. “As the recent acquisition of WWE by Endeavor has shown, multiple fan bases continue to converge,” said Jeff Misenti, co-founder of The Publisher Desk. “By combining some of the most respected brands into one environment, Ringside Intel becomes the go-to destination for information, news, and exclusive content for any sport in the ring.” Ringside Intel is targeted at the estimated 1.2 billion fans worldwide of WWE, TNA, and AEW, along with another 700 million fans of UFC, Bellator, and other MMA promotions. While the popularity of pay-per-view events provides a thriving place in the market, most of the audience consumes combat content online. For example, according to data from the WWE, the company alone garnered more than 7.5 billion digital and social media views in January and February of this year, up 15% from the same time frame a year ago. The recent WrestleMania 39 had more than 500 million views and 11 million hours of video consumed over the two days of the event, a 42% increase over last year. The Publisher Desk partnered with Intermarkets to add Ringside Intel to its growing portfolio of sports, entertainment, and information sites, including the company’s flagship site, Sportsnaut, the most powerful name in sports news and information. “The Publisher Desk is a top-notch partner for our mission to give combat sports and sports entertainment fans the quality content they’ve come to expect from our brands,” said Intermarkets CEO and Founder Kevin Lucido. “This opportunity fits with Intermarkets’ strategy of expanding our businesses and harnesses The Publisher Desk’s marketplace power in generating expanded growth opportunities. Backed by the combined weight of Intermarkets and The Publisher Desk, these greater joint opportunities will grow Ringside Intel as fans’ destination for all things that punch, grapple, sweat, and bleed.” This launch comes a month after The Publisher Desk acquired Forever Blueshirts, the leading source of information about the New York Rangers, and six months after Intermarkets added Bounding Into Sports, a spin-off of the popular entertainment site Bounding Into Comics, which brings Bounding's signature brand of unmatched insights and in-depth coverage to the world of sports. Ringside Intel is not affiliated with the WWE, UFC, or any other professional sports and entertainment promotions. About The Publisher Desk The Publisher Desk, based in New York with offices in London and South Florida, is a fully integrated audience development and content monetization partner to digital publishers, in addition to publishing several owned and operated sites. The company, founded in 2014, helps websites increase advertising revenues and reduce operational costs.

How Does A Tweet Affect Your Business? FiscalNote’s (NYSE: NOTE) Aicel Technologies Can Tell You

Benzinga

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga Turning abstract and unstructured data into actionable information can feel like a monumental task, yet it often has a great effect on businesses. “Reputation,” for example is an abstract concept that will likely generate a different definition depending on who you ask, but its impact is so important that it is included in financial statements like balance sheets (in the form of Goodwill and other designations). Similarly, sentiment, another valuable abstraction created from Tweets, “Reddit Storms” and Facebook groups, can often lead to a significant impact on businesses, generating trends, spending sprees and brand loyalty that translate into profits. But interpreting this information is a difficult task and using it to generate actionable insights is even more challenging. When trying to figure out how unstructured data affects one’s business and surroundings, it’s often best to consult experts. As a technology company specializing in the analysis and tracking of legislation and regulations in the U.S. and abroad, FiscalNote Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NOTE) is a preferred destination for some of the biggest organizations in the world, including the U.S. government itself – and its latest acquisition can help make sense of the flow of social media information and other unstructured data to get the most value from it. Interpreting Unstructured Data Using FiscalNote’s Aicel Technologies Recently, FiscalNote acquired Aicel Technologies, a rapidly-growing alternative data company based in Seoul, South Korea. Aicel processes both proprietary and licensed data, including trade and export information, patent filings and aggregated consumer and retail transactions, on a subscription basis for customers such as asset management companies, multinational corporations, hedge funds and investment firms. In the complicated task of turning abstractions into actionable data, Aciel is a specialist. The company uses advanced technology to collect, refine, process, and deliver tailored data to customers while also powering a data exchange marketplace through its Data-as-a-Service model. As an alternative data platform, Aicel allows users to capture value and insight from unstructured data, helping blue-chip customers like hedge funds, asset managers and quant firms capture alpha-generating opportunities. Aicel will augment FiscalNote's existing AI data products, including FiscalNote AI Solutions, DataHunt, and Predata, and its growth strategy by expanding alternative data sources, deepening expertise in sophisticated artificial intelligence, data transformation, data ingestion, and API development. The combination of Aicel with FiscalNote will accelerate the continued expansion of its customer base and revenues through a strong network of established partners, as well as sales and marketing relationships with leading firms. Whether it’s Tweets, blog posts, market prices, user information or consumer trends, FiscalNote’s newly acquired tool, Aicel, will sift through a myriad of seemingly nonsensical data and provide users with a structured, insightful path to capturing business opportunities.

President Biden Issues First Veto – Stay Ahead Of The News With FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE)

Benzinga

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga President Biden issued his first veto in office. House Republicans are pressing a new energy bill, dubbed H.R.1, that would “expedite energy products, eliminate or reduce certain fees related to the development of federal energy sources and eliminate certain funds that provide incentives to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases.” In short, the Lower Cost Energy Act (i.e. H.R.1) is a plea for looser restrictions on greenhouse-producing energy products and activities like oil drilling and exploration. Even though the bill was a long way from reaching the Presidential desk, the White House made its stance clear. In a statement issued on Mar. 27th, the White House said: “If presented to the President in its current form, he would veto it.” - which they did. The White House noted that H.R. 1 would replace “pro-consumer policies with a thinly veiled license to pollute” and “raise costs for American families by repealing household energy rebates and rolling back historic investments to increase access to cost-lowering clean energy technologies.” Legislation And Regulation Tracking Technology Through FiscalNote Bills with a monumental impact on the future of the nation are discussed on a continuous basis by the U.S. government. These bills can also have major implications for financial markets. President Biden’s Infrastructure Act, for example, is heavily linked to the rise in the stock prices of companies like Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) and Applied Material Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT) in anticipation of the Act taking effect. Individually keeping track of each bill, however, is a nearly impossible task without the help of specialized software. This is where FiscalNote Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NOTE) comes in. As a technology company specializing in the analysis and tracking of legislation and regulations in the U.S. and abroad, the company can be an investor, trader or any other citizen’s preferred destination when organizing and tracking major changes in government.

Stay One Step Ahead: Master the Essentials of Cybersecurity Readiness!

YourUpdateTV

From data breaches to phishing scams, cybercrime is on the rise, and it's time to arm yourself with the knowledge and tools to stay safe in the digital world. Recently, Dave Lewis, Global Advisory Chief Information Security Officer at Cisco Security, conducted a satellite media tour to share tips and tricks to outsmart cyber criminals and stay safe online. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/VDTqR8LqwOM After surveying over 6,700 cybersecurity leaders worldwide, Cisco found that less than 15% of companies were ‘Mature’ enough (or considered to have advanced enough security) to defend against modern cybersecurity risks, even though 82% of respondents said they expect a cybersecurity incident to disrupt their business in the next two years. While this may not seem to directly impact consumers at first, the aftermath can take a large toll on the public, causing emails, credit cards and personal information to be leaked on the internet. Here are some tips that Lewis shared: · Be a safe shopper: o Never use a debit card, use a credit card, I like one specifically for online purchases. o Don’t save your personal or credit card information on any company site – If they company doesn’t have it, the company can’t lose it, and the criminals can’t steal it. o Closely watch your online accounts. · Build cyber street smarts - Criminals will use information from a breach against you: o Evaluate the company before sharing personal information. o Only share essential information with any company or third-party. o Know the signs of a scam - If it seems too good to be true, if there’s too much pressure. · Personal resilience - Expect breaches: o Use multi-factor on all accounts. o Use separate email addresses and credit cards – our phones may make this easier. o Talk about it when it happens – empathy and compassion, kinder than necessary. According to Cisco, 60% of respondents said they had a cybersecurity incident in the last year, which cost 41% of organizations affected at least $500,000. While forward-looking businesses are investing in resilience and focused on improving their ability to defend against and minimize the impact of an attack, consumers also must take an active role in protecting their own information, especially as breaches become more and more inevitable.
