lending club closes $1M in loans on facebook.



This is about a week old now, but worthy of notice if you haven't already seen it. Lending Club has announced that they've closed $1M in loans. On Facebook. These are small loans, or "micro loans", and an excellent example of the long tail in action. And the power of social communities like Facebook.

Awesome. I mean, for the people who are realizing Facebook as a business tool - not for the people who are getting further into debt. :)
