Prosper Days has historically released information regarding the companies focus for the year and both short and long term fixes to the website and loan platform itself. Previous Prosper Days have also provided speeches and keys to success from some of the websites top group leaders and some early adopters of P2P lending.

Through its members Prosper.com has evolved to a very user friendly environment. The largest problems that seem to have plagued the platform from day one are still present. Collections and Time in transit for money resulting in Float for the bank that handles the Propsper.com finances. There have been some great number crunches that were very active forum members before the old forum was deleted that ran some numbers on the "float" they weren't large numbers considering the size of prosper at its current age. The way around this was for Prosper.com to offer interest bearing accounts so that money could be stored within their system without losing precious time. Paying a small percentage to a Prosper members account would most likely generate more bids and successful loan listings.

To all that will be attending Prosper Days 2008! Have a wonderful time and make sure to ask the questions that they never seem to have answers to on the forum!
