thanks guacamoly Smiley

I have no idea 'what' I do but I take directions and copy and paste well.

It's actually much prettier now but still runs a little wide and I have no idea how to fix that.

I do love seeing it pull up those photos of the entrepreneurs tho...

thanx, jan

I ran across this yesterday.  I liked the graph for countries with active and completed loans separate.  KivaFolio

An app that helps analyze a Kiva portfolio's diversity across different sectors and countries, and recommends fund raising loans that would help to balance the portfolio.

I used it a few times - it loads pretty fast and gives a good idea of your diversification...

I was not overly impressed with the 'suggested' loans because there was no information showing how/why these loans were chosen for me - how they were weighted - was it more of what I obviously liked or more that I needed spreading the percentages more... but it was a quick way to find a loan...

I think from reading the small summary the suggested loans would be from countries where your %'s were low.

yeah, that was my thought...
but I think my percentages are low in those areas because I choose other reasons to loan...
so for me it isn't a great tool...
but it's good for seeing at least the country proportions...
and it's a pretty picture - although I'm loving the way kivabank.org is developing.
I now have bookmarks for Ahkun, kivabank and KivaFolio and sometimes load all three
Addict Huh? or what ?
