One important caveat is that some companies operate hybrid business models that fall both inside and outside our definition of the collaborative economy. While Amazon’s e-commerce retail marketplace stands outside, many of its other services, including its crowdsourcing ‘Mechanical Turk’, fall inside. The Mechanical Turk, hosted on Amazon Web Services, allows businesses to locate ‘crowd workers’ to perform discrete on-demand tasks. Many of our Task Force members pointed out that they operate hybrid business models. Airbnb, for example, has expanded beyond its origins as a platform renting out spare rooms, and now includes primary and secondary homes, traditional vacation rentals, bed-and-breakfasts and hotels. The platform powers more than accommodation, with its ‘Experiences’ marketplace offering guided tours, cooking classes and other services.
