Roundup of Social Lending News – August 27, 2011

Every Saturday I bring you the latest news from the world of peer to peer lending. These are the best of the news articles and blog posts from around the web that I shared on Twitter this past week.

It was a busy week on the p2p lending news front with plenty of updates and news from the blogosphere. One personal finance blogger who is new to our news roundup, Beating Broke, had not one, but two posts about Lending Club this past week. Both posts made the list below. And let’s not forget Prosper. They released the video from their recent p2p lending webinar. This should be required viewing for every p2p lending investor. Enjoy your weekend.
