This week you saw something you don’t often see: goodwill for a tech company.
Maybe it was a reaction to the endless years of lashing out against tech CEOs on Twitter, often coming from other tech CEOs themselves. Or the incessant pressure from the press about tech companies and their bad behavior. But as I read positive tweet after positive tweet supporting Airbnb, its CEO Brian Chesky and its initial public offering planned for early December, I couldn’t help but ponder what it was about this tech company that had everyone—well, cheering it on.
