  So, you Pool Guys,
Should we start one for when we're going to snag our 1,000th?

Let's make it 501!!  Hi there, my name is Chaya from Silicon Valley!  Just tried to fund a borrower, and it seems that they have to round up a few more folks in need.  That shouldn't be too hard. Thanks for letting me enjoy all the chats; it's an extra added bonus to add to the joy!

Richard,
I noticed that you are quite active on the boards and are knowledgeable about Kiva Friends--do you know of any groups of Kiva supporters that meet (where we can connect as well as bring those who might have an interest in Kiva)?

Thanks

Hi Jaayd,

The only area that comes to mind is Kiva Supporters in Orange County, California? 

If you're interested in another part of the country, start a new topic!  Smiley

After 3 1/2 months we went from 500 members to over 1300...I think kiva friends is becoming well established and actually solidified its place way back when the site was created...the numbers speak to the success it should be...Im also noticing that there is much more to comment on and discuss with all these newcomers...I hadnt posted much in october so maybe Im just catching up a bit, but its nice to see so many new faces and conversing with the old ones as well, those I know that were the core of this place when it was just underway...

what is with the suddenly huge increase in number of members on kivafriends per day? 

Anyways, here is a quick excel file/graph of the KF membership growth from beginning to present...along with rough %s of how many Kiva.org members were also making their way over to become members of KF.

I find not direction in the readings of those with whom my eccentricities are similar, but rather validation.

My only solace is that I find a peaceful place where I might be resigned to my depriving loneliness.

Steve,

thanks so much for compiling the stats! What I find interesting is that the %age of KivaFriends to Kivans has remained largely the same in the last three months!

I guess the increase in KIvaFriends stems from more visibility on the Kiva-website as well as more and more of us using the KivaFriends-link in their lender-profile (including the author of this post who finally made it!!)... Undecided
