AirBnB has rolled out a handful of new features geared towards folks who put up their places for rent to make these listings as social as possible.



The revamped app, available now in iOS and Android, integrates user profile pics and info with the logistics of calendar listings in a single swipe. It will ping you before a guest is set to arrive with suggestions for last minute amenities.

They’ll be launching a “Get Mobile” program to encourage web hosts to make the transition to a handheld device—even potentially offering financial assistance to those who need a new smartphone, with the thinking that reservations will then help offset that cost.



The app also supports self organized Groups to crowdsource inside info from good cleaners in the neighborhood and where to get cheap stuff.
