The video for the infamous high ROI lender panel has surfaced on Google Video. LoanChimp and HollowOak have observed that spans of time appear to be missing from the video.
Prosper has released video footage from Prosper days to Google Video. I havn't had a chance to go through it all yet, so that'll be coming, but why should that stop you? Based on all the reports out of Prosper Days, I suggest that lenders should scroll down to collections practices, start there, and then go back and experience it all.

Update: I added links to the Google video pages. Pass it around.
Update 2: It looks like Prosper uploaded the 2007 Prosper Days onto Google Video as well. Clicky-clicky to get them.
I promise you, the title is much cooler when the Blues Brothers sing it. And on that note, we're into more Prosper Days Linkfest-o-rama-mania. I guess after all this is over I'll have to go back to actually writing about something instead of linking to others. Drat.
Prosper Lending Review
Since I'm not actually at Prosper days, I have to vicariously live-blog from home. Consider this a Prosper Days linkfest. If you're looking for staying up on what's happening, try IRC. I'll post more as the reports roll in (right after the late night party crowd reconnects with their laptops). On to day 1.
Prospers.org: "Live reporting from PD in IRC" thread.
Prosper Lending Review: "Keynote from CEO Chris Larsen"
Prosper Lending Review: "Prosper Days '08 kicks off"
Prosper Marketplace Monitor: "Prosper didn't catch fraudster using its services, but CEO takes credit for conviction"
bamalucky: "The last Prosper Days?"
Update 2:
Lazy Man & Money: "Prosper Days (Day 1 Overview)"
Update: It seems that several people are disappointed that Doug Fuller won't make an appearance at the 10:30 Collections session today. He presented after all (some kind of scheduling snafu). The live-chat makes it sound like one of the most substantial presentations thus far.
Old schedule:
New schedule:
Prosper Days is in full swing in San Francisco. In addition to a number of new features rolled out for PD like user-customizable portfolios, more search criteria, interest rate changes, and a host of other tweaks, attendees get to chew over the minutia of running Prosper. There are no live feeds, so the best way to keep track of what's happening is to venture onto the Prospers.org IRC feed, where a few lenders are live-chatting from Prosper Days. If you're unfamiliar with IRC etiquette, your best bet is to quietly lurk and read the commentary lest you get pounced. This is a no holds barred region of the internet.
RateLadder beat me to the punch, but why waste those precious electrons...
Prosper Days 2008 is Prosper's lender conference happening in late February (yes, in 2008). Prosper Shira just made a quick posting to the forums that Freakonomics co-author Stephen Dubner will be doing Tuesday's keynote speech.
We are pleased to announce that Stephen Dubner, co-Author of Freakonomics, will be our keynote speaker at Prosper Days..
