Chewing the fat, shooting the breeze, having a natter - call it what you like, talking to people is darn important and everyone should do it as often as they can (except in libraries). We talk to our members as much as possible, through our blog and discussion board and by getting people to email contactus@zopa.com if anything's on their mind.
Hello everyone,
Seeing as it’s Friday and chances are you’re not going to be doing any proper work after about 2 o’clock anyway, a little question for you - what noun would you use to describe a collection of Zopa members?
Inspired by the aptness of things like a prickle of porcupines and an ugly of walruses, here are my suggestions:
A savvy of Zopa members
A cooperation of Zopa members
A revolution of Zopa members
An astute of Zopa members
Kittyhello,
There has been a lot of debate at Zopa about displaying rates and lenders’ offers on the homepage.
We don’t show rates on the homepage that could be misleading to borrowers. For example, if a lender lent £500 at 1% it would be misleading to say “borrowings available at Zopa for 1%” … because in practice no-one could borrow at 1%.
Having said that, I agree that we could and should do more to be more open about the market right up-front on the home page. This is being reviewed now. We’ve started a fairly major redesign of the site which should help in this area (it’ll be some weeks before you see the results). Meantime, I’ll go back around the loop with some of the rest of the team to see if we can’t do a “tactic fix” quicker …
nice to hear that. Be more open to the visitors, golden rule for sucess on the net.
Prosper progress:
410 listings found with credit grade at least HR including borrowers with no credit including high debt/income (>20%) borrowers and borrowers without groups.
I believe the number of lenders could be far beyond that of the borrowers.4:1???? then Prosper got 410*5. 2000 plus those who are not active this moment, 5000 could be possible.

NO.1 Just as I have suggested earlier in the post, why can’t Zopa present the bidding information on the frontpage just as what the Prosper did. It’s not only to be more timesaving for the logins but also a great interest and stimulation to the visitors who might be ready to do the registration sooner or later.
No.2 I have been watching the progress of the Proser and I found that their registration number is increasing very fast.hey, Zopa guys, hurry up.Keep the leading role all the over.
No.3 hope my post could be answered by your guys. Every answer is a great joy and respect to the posters and guests.hehe.
