When I tried to reinvest a loan tonight, the following is what popped up. Darcy informed me that KIVA was highlighted on Oprah and the Today Show this week so they had A LOT of extra publicity. Yippee!
Congratulations Kiva Lenders!
We've funded EVERY business on the site!!
Your loans are now on their way to the developing world. Those of you who have been with us for a while probably know that this has something to do with the recent glowing press we've received and the record traffic that has come along with it.
First time visitors can rest assured - The Kiva team and our Field Partners around the globe are hard at work receiving and approving new loan applications right now. We hope to have more businesses posted on the site within 24 hours, so please check back again shortly (hit 'Ctrl-d' to bookmark us!).
With your help, one day we'll run out of businesses forever. We at Kiva.org look forward to the day our website ceases to be a functioning microfinance site and instead becomes an online museum dedicated to showing future generations what we used to call "poverty."
Until then, you can help us in our efforts to reach more businesses by making a donation. Keep up the great work!

This is great. I would have loved to have seen that show with the Flannerys, the couple who started Kiva. There is a photo of them on The OW Show website...I love this picture of the entreprenuer...I am going to try to make a screensaver, rotating some of my favorites.....
