    Peter, thanks for mentioning PeerCube and interest in reviewing the site. Let me know if we can help during your evaluation process.

    The feedback since the release has been very interesting. It appears we are attracting lot more users who are newish to p2p lending. Similarly, users are much more interested in creating and saving filters.

    In coming weeks, we will be making some changes to PeerCube to meet needs of such constituents.
