I will continue to keep an eye on Prosper and other similar companies. We know how stiff a credit card can get someone, and I look forward to when I can be on the lending side of that equation. Prosper may eventually be able to provide that service. Interesting stuff. I will continue to keep an eye on Prosper and other similar companies.

People asked tough questions like, "When am I going to get interest on funds that aren't currently loaned out." (Answer: Perhaps at some point, there's a lot more legislation than it seems with something like that. Rather than give you 1% interest, they'd rather have a system where you bid money and they automatically bring it out of your bank account into the loan. This way you could enjoy the 3.5% that you might get at another institution.) Yes, any reasonable suggestion they are taking. If someone voiced a question like, "I lost my money what are you going to do about it?" it was kind of glossed over for the most part (what can they do?) In the end, they know that their success lies in setting up a marketplace for borrows and lenders. They mentioned that they want to be like a stock exchange, with no bias towards one side or the other. Every panel that they did had a part to ask questions.

(not sure what I was expecting.) Were there opportunities for the attendees to voice their opinion and give feedback to Prosper? If so, do you think the company listened and is taking it on board? 150 is a fairly big number. (not sure what I was expecting.)
