AirBnB's first acquisition? Seriously though, this is my new list of San Francisco date ideas: http://www.vayable.com/bay_area

Congrats on the name. Clever without being confusingly obscure.

Think so? It's not a word and doesn't mean anything to me. I can't imagine having to tell it to someone in person. Anytime you have to specifically spell out your startup url, I think it's a problem.

Cool site though.

In Spanish, "Vaya" translates roughly to commanding someone else to "Go!" Granted, not everyone knows Spanish, but it's not totally out of the blue.

Is it the same pronunciation as "viable"? Or is it phonetic "vay-a-ble"?

The former is the correct way to pronounce it :-)

Seriously good name. Was it unregistered? I'm nosy.

Yup! Probably one of the last "-able"s left :)

I was discussing the exact same idea with a friend a few days ago. We kind of started working on it, but got bored so didn't follow through. I'd definitely use something like this.

This is cool.

tourdust.com has been doing this for a while. They have pretty amazing trips and I think slightly lower fees ?

Who designed the site?

My cofounder Jamie did.
