jimray : Declan McCullagh gets all wrong (no big surprise there) - Protecting Deep Throat is not the same as protecting individuals who break NDA's. McCullaugh is trotting out an old trick of tech "reporters" -- bash Apple, watch the fans come out of the woodwork and score a bunch of cheap hits to boost ad revenue.

Andy Baio : Zopa, like eBay for loans - UK only and a fascinating market experiment [via] [via]
jkottke : Zopa removes (most of) the middlemen in the lending/borrowing scheme; no more going through banks or credit card companies - Company takes 1% up front from the borrowers. UK-only for now. Fantastic idea...I'm in favor of anything that introduces a little competition into the collusive world of banking and credit cards.
Rod Begbie : Zopa - The first lending and borrowing exchange - Fascinating British loans system. Minimises risk for those with money to lend, and minimises costs for those looking to borrow. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out. [via] #
