Only recently did Lendingclub.com provide the download of statistic data on the Lending Club loans.
Now Eric (who also runs Ericscc.com) started another statistic site, this time providing insights in how the numbers at Lendingclub develop. The following chart shows loan origination by month:
Lenders at Zopa do not (yet) select an individual borrower but rather select a market and a rate at which they want to lend their money. This is matched to borrower demand and if a match is found, money is lend out.
There is a 3rd party site tracking the development of the Zopa demand volume and charting it (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly). Recently the amount requested has gone down in most markets.

Based on an idea from frequencydip and using code first implemented by zieri of zierious.com I just added short urls, which are much easier to remember and do not use that much space in forum signatures or elsewhere.
Everybody can now use the following short URLs:
This URLs instantly without delay redirect to the prosper.com pages.
The prototype displays all open listings of a given group. They look roughly like this:
Example display for group "ProsperLenders":
However this is only a picture. To see the full function, which includes automatic links to each of the listings check the the example in the upper right on this website (point the mouse over a listing).
The display will automatically update daily.
Be aware that while width is fixed, height of display will automatically change according to number of open listings. Therefore placement should be carefully selected, e.g. in left or right bar of a website.
To get the code for your website go here:

As mentioned, this is a prototype.
I did choose a rather simple layout, allowing for the group leader to put his own headline above it, or to choose a border, or to place a prosper button alongside.
Feedback and suggestions are welcome!
Yesterday the new lender signatures were introduced by wiseclerk.com. Based on an idea from nonattender this new tool allows to transform key lender stats figures into an image, which can be used in a posters signature at the prosper forum.
Example of the image (size decreased, original is larger):
The image shows the amount invested, the current number of loans, the roles and, if the lender is in the top 500 the rank by money invested.
Once created the images will update daily automatically.
The discussion thread on this new tool was a hot topic. After several suggestions, a couple of hours later a further signature tool, this time for the borrowers was offered.
Example of borrower signature (size decreased, original is larger):
We will see how this further develops.
Firefox users have been experiencing some useability problems with creating the new wiseclerk borrower signatures with the prosper lender stats.
Here is the workaround:
Step 1: Enter lender name on the signature creation page.
Step 2: Wait for up to a minute. IGNORE the error message Firefox displays.
Step 3: Copy this code into your forum signature:
[URL=http://www.wiseclerk.com] [IMG]https://www.p2p-banking.com/jpg/screenname.png[/IMG][/URL]
Step 4: Replace screenname with your prosper screen name
You are done. Sorry for the inconvience. Any help by experienced Firefox programmers is appreciated
