Is Prosper Going Flash?

Prosper is searching for some freelance web designers in Silicon Valley. No surprises there, other than their interest in Flash and ActionScript development experience. Prosper doesn't appear to use Flash right now (not that it's a bad thing). This may be an indicator towards a website refresh. Their site's design style is getting a bit long in the tooth, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was coming. It may also be that some of those fancy Finovate features will utilize Flash to make them snappy. Either way, it's a great opportunity for rumor mongering.
