I'm afraid it's too early for me to get excited about this. Maybe in a few months. . . .

September 26, 2009. (My 30th birthday)...THAT would be quite a gift...
Calculations apart (I agree with some comments related to the economic crisis), I still believe in our (Kiva's, KivaFriends', every old and perspective lender's and even mine, as researcher) ability to change - again - predicted numbers.
Also (here comes the researcher's side), I still believe in the non-linear, pull, exponential nature of our giant network being the Web...Smiley

I think the economy will encourage people to look for other ways to use their charitable dollars...

Lending seems to be at least a way to re-use what little money we have...

It's the donation end I worry (am pessimistic) about.

I expect growth in lending to continue...
as long as Kiva can continue to keep the lights on in the office in SF.
