I will certainly include those in my post - which I'm working on for later this week. The amazing thing about Kiva is they haven't focused on being the "most" web 2.0 site and kept it simple. At the same time, there is SO much great content and it's hard for people to find it, the Kiva Fellows Blog, Journals, YouTue videos - these are all absolutely things that they should be doing. Thanks! Great tips. I will certainly include those in my post – which I’m working on for later this week.

Kiva should (if they don't already) provide all Fellows with point-and-click camcorders like the Flip. There should also be YT vid links *directly on the homepage* so as to attract more lenders. In this age of web surfers with little/no attention span, a video... *any* video would certainly help! Perhaps I missed it... however, is there a link *anywhere* on Kiva.org about the YT channel or videos being available? Using the rudimentary search engine, no mention of "video" was found in the help section. Well, that's my 2 cents, for whatever they worth - about .0000000000001 cents in this economy! ;) Hmmm… how about short video clips, maybe 1-5 minutes in length of the lenders, similar to what Kiva offers on it’s Youtube channel.
