In my calendar I had marked October 2nd as the launch date of Globefunder.com. Unfortunately the day passed – no launch. I found a recent press release, which says launch will be in October and states Globefunder will launch for US lenders and borrowers. This is somewhat different from my early perception of the service, which based on the interview with Globefunder's CEO Brian Mullally. But the claim "Online, no-wait funding for qualified borrowers" does sound interesting.

No news on the other p2p lending services that have yet to launch, like Communitylend or Loanio.
