Prosper is a Web 2.0-style microlending system that lets you pool money with other investors. The money is lent to borrowers who might be trying to start a new business or consolidate their credit card debt. The start-up gets permission to do full credit checks and as a lender you have the option of reviewing potential borrowers, or even seeing what successful lenders are investing in. Pretty fascinating stuff.
