Prosper.com debuts offering a mixed brew of eBay, Friendster and the local bank
Quote:Prosper's users lend money to and borrow money from other people on the site at what the company says are better interest rates than those available through traditional financial institutions and without some of the risk that comes from typical person-to-person loans. full article: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/13/techno...3ecom.html

Interesting concept. There's a lot of individuals trying to consolidate credit card debt, but there's a business loans category too.

Oh joy, joy, it's one of my favorite PeSA/Voices members DooDooOnYou (very good seller...excellent seller in fact. I just have a huge problem with his belief that PeSA members deserve to have the playing field tilted in their favor).
Quote:We have chosen a PSP, Infopia, and have hired aGenius Marketing to help with the transition. Work will be completed by the end of March, and must begin immediately. Question: Why do they need to hire someone to help with the switch from Selling Manager Pro to Infopia? They have 827 items listed in their store. Oh well, they're the ones wasting their money by hiring someone else to do it. End of snide comments. It is good to see that online businesses can apply for small loans at Prosper.com though. The interest rates are sure a lot better than the alternative method of funding many small businesses use--financing their startup phase with credit cards. The loans must be repaid in 3 years... A new auction site I actually like and that I think has a chance to succeed.Â
