We need your input!  When we launched the KivaB4B Project, we created this really cool flash site with video and testimonials.  It can be found at www.kivab4b.org.  We quickly realized that the site was great for the first visit and no much for subsequent visits.  Fortunately, we launched a blog site at the same time - www.b4bcommunity.org.  We are in the process of enhancing this site.  In a few weeks, it will become our primary site.

We think that the most important asset of this new site will be to promote the businesses that are supporting entrepreneurs through Kiva.  Each week we will highlight a different business.  As Kiva fans, what other information would you like to see?  Remember, the purpose of the site is to encourage business professionals to support Kiva.

Thanks!

How about an idea corner where business share ways they have used Kiva loans in the business environment. 

As an example, our first portfolio of Kiva loans was made in honor of our clients. Instead of giving them candy and perishables at Christmastime we funded an equivalent amount in Kiva Loans.  We then sent all our clients a Christmas letter explaining our "redirection", and highlighted the entrepreneurs we funded.

These are great ideas.  I'm not sure what I like more - the title "shameless plug" or the interactive map.  Thanks and keep them coming!
