micro lending

It appears that ordinary people like you and me can also micro lend. Check out kiva.org:

"Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can "sponsor a business" and help the world's working poor make great strides towards economic independence."

Gotta talk to nbh when he gets home.

It just amazes me that such a little amount to me can be a business loan. Wow.

UPDATE: I might have to get myself a "seriously, unspeakably awesome" shirts....

And I see the founder of kiva.org worked at TiVo. No wonder why the site is easy to navigate.....
