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.
Some big changes at Prosper this week that I wrote about here (make sure you also read the comments to get the full picture). Prosper provides their own take on these changes below. And for a counterpoint to the insurgence of p2p lending read the Xintendo blog post below. It is always good to hear different perspectives. Enjoy your weekend.

Wow, Xintendo is seriously over thinking the math.
Well Xintendo didn’t do any math… thats part of the problem.
@Lou/@Charlie, I agree. He is assuming that the worst will happen and as I said in my comment on his blog post, I don’t buy into it.
