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.
I expected the week before Christmas to be a pretty quiet one on the news front but that was simply not the case. As I mentioned yesterday, I did an interview with Fox News on Monday and the segment was aired several times on Tuesday. I link to the article (with video) below. There were plenty of other great articles this week including several interesting posts from some of my fellow p2p lending bloggers. Merry Christmas.
