Prosper and Lending Club were featured on the CBS Evening News (In Credit Crunch, Lending To Each Other ). The video is at the end of this post. I saw the coverage live while watching in between NCAA tourney games.

I figured the decreasing rate of return in conventional savings accounts would be a major driver of new lenders to the P2P lending sites - how much I am very curious. Does it seem that good loans are hard to find on Prosper and LendingClub? Or is there a constant stream of decent borrows?
I keep getting behind on work - I need to try for a Prosper loan again. Any rumors on when Prosper is going to go national and get rid of the state restrictions on interest rates?
