Roundup of Social Lending News – December 10, 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.

This week was a busy one for me with the launch of my new video course, the P2P Lending Wealth System, which was graciously covered by several bloggers in this industry. I give you links to a couple of their articles below. There was also news out of the UK this week that struggling p2p lender, Quakle, closed their doors for good. Finally, I want to highlight the fascinating article on Dataspora. Tanya Cashorali has authored another analysis of p2p lending, this time contrasting the Prosper data with the Lending Club data. It is a very interesting read for all serious p2p investors.
