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.

Prosper blog – Using Consumer Debt to Increase Income while Reducing Risk (Guest Blog)

Prosper blog – New for Investors: Asset Allocation, Seasoned Returns and More

Notion Capital – Do we really need banks anymore?

    @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.
