Scores of readers have come to visit us in the last few days on the heels of our PR news release. Lending Club is a brand new p2p lending service.

One of the exciting items that we see so far in all of the exposure we have received is that people are getting the information correct. There are countless times that the blogosphere will seemingly post items even though they are more often than not wrong. This is done in order to put an article online. This has not been the state of the blogosphere where Lending Club is concerned.

We also are seeing that many of the writers out there are making sure to mention that Facebook is a great platform to launch on. Lending Club is very happy to have been able to leverage the f8 platform. It has given us substantial first week traction.

Many of you recognize that with any new startup, traction achieved is the pulse in which a company lives or dies. Facebook has provided Lending Club with that traction. Our information is clear-cut, and our rates are posted correctly for the borrower or lender. We don’t try to misinform, and we are building community. Better Rates. Together.
