Random question of the day...

[raveturned]

Has anyone on the flist heard of Kiva, the microfinancing site? It came to my attention recently, and the idea looks good pretty good in theory but I wonder how well it works in practice. Can anyone confirm they're not just a pretty website fronting for loan sharks in the third world?

Hmmm, not heard of it, but looks a good idea if it's on the level.
Keep us informed.
