If I remember correctly, I heard about Kiva on NPR, around June-July 2007.

I first heard (read) about Kiva in the fall of 2006 while researching various aspects of microenterprise on the internet.  Our daughter was getting her masters and was intrigued with its development as a way to help alleviate poverty.  We were learning along with her.

I read about it in an article of the German magazine "Brigitte" (http://www.brigitte.de/frau/gesellschaft/guatemala-kleinkredit/index.html) while sitting in the waiting room of my physician.

I was wandering around the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and someone mentioned Kiva (this was in October of 2008, I think).
