Your Airbnb listing will do better if there's a red pillow in your photos
(Shared by Peter)
"After running some fancy analytics on pictures of properties on the site, Airbnb found that photos of a red cushion in apartments tend to drive more clicks on the home rental site.
Mike Curtis, its vice president of engineering, told Mashable that his data science team has algorithms that score how effective photos are. It works this out based on a number of factors including lighting and composition, and tries to give home owners tips on making their places look better."

My two cents: Hmmm. I think I'll give it a try. Not sure about the bulldog, though. :-)
