CouchSurfing International is one of those rare Web companies-- like Mozilla or Craigslist-- that has eschewed the normal Silicon Valley values of growth, greed and venture capital. It's one of those startups that uses the word "community" to mean people that have lasting, real-world connections to one another, not just the new industry jargon for "eyeballs."And its CEO Daniel Hoffer still talks a bit like a man running a combination of an ashram or an online dating service: "We specialize in creating meaningful connections."But as of today, CouchSurfing is going all corporate on us.
