Airbnb A/B Tests And Detects A Better Placement For Saving Properties

It looks like Airbnb just discovered a better placement for the "heart icon" that allows users to save properties to custom lists.

Netflix A/B Tests Displaying A Password Field Which Fails And Gets Rejected

It looks like Netflix has been iterating on showing additional fields upfront on their homepage. After they succeeded at displaying an email address upfront, this experiment now takes next step of showing a password field. The result of the leaked experiment however suggests a negative outcome as they reverted back to the control version - without the visible password. View Leak

Booking Discovers That Two Search Bars Are Not Better Than One

In this experiment Booking added a second search bar on their homepage. The intention might have been to provide users a way to filter more destinations by country. Could this scenario have created an akward uncertainty about which form field to engage with? Whether this explanation is true or not, I'm not sure. What we do know however that in the end, the control version with the single search bar prevailed.  View Leak

Netflix A/B Tests Upfront Email Capture At The Start Of Their Signup Flow And It Succeeds

Once upon a time, Netflix had asked users to enter their email address far down in the signup flow. The email field appeared after a user moved from the hompage, through a series of confirmation steps, and a plan selection - what might officially be counted as the fifth step. All this was challenged with the following experiment where the email field was placed right at the forefront. More so, it also looks like this changed generated some positive impact as it was also rolled out. View Leak
