Complete(?) Kiva Network

I wanted to offer up an image of the complete(?) network after all of the kind interest in the preliminary network map I put together yesterday.

From the feedback yesterday, I learned my lesson and have linked to a high-res version of the image.

Incredibly great idea Kiva.org, the distributed micro-lending organization, has recently released a freely available API for accessing their data.

I have just started poking at the data available, as I suspect network analysis will be able to help predict rates of return.

Good on ‘ya Kiva!
