We have just unveiled the most updated version of KivaAlerts.com, our suite of applications built on the Kiva API aimed at building a rapid and larger distribution channel of new loan requests that appear on Kiva.org, and for enabling Kiva.org users to introduce Kiva to their friends and family, with almost no effort. Take a look here.

KivaAlerts.com is our original email alert application that allows you to choose the loan criterion to track loans for and it sends out an email alert every time a loan of your interest appears on Kiva.org. Simple!

KivaAlerts.com for iPhone is our iPhone application that leverages the beauty of the iPhone interface to further simplify and ease tracking of new loan requests on Kiva. Its a FREE application on the App Store and you can get it here. 

KivaLovers is our Facebook application that helps you to randomly shuffle & discover the latest fund raising loan requests on Kiva.org and share the ones you like with your Facebook friends, introducing them to Kiva and helping the entrepreneur of your choice get funded faster. Add it here today - it might be the best use of the time you spend on Facebook This application was inspired by the brilliant Status Shuffle application by Eric. 

KivaTweets is our twitter application – we had to have one for twitter, right? It was in part inspired by the @aplusk and @cnnbrk race to get more followers. We thought won’t it be interesting if they, and tweeters like them, can help us extend the reach of Kiva loans to their followers. By simply opting for sharing a KivaTweet daily or weekly on KivaTweets – an act that would take less than 10 seconds (really..I have timed it) – they would do good everyday, without knowing and without really doing much. If you know Ashton Kutcher or Oprah or Kevin Rose, please have them sign up with KivaTweets  

I want to thank all the current users of KivaAlerts.com for their valuable feedback. I know that we still have a few items you have requested that are not live – be assured that we will add your requested features soon. I am sure there are more requests (and bugs) to make KivaAlerts better, please keep them coming and submit them via our feedback form here.
