From CNN.com Live Associate Producer Sarah Hill: When the CNN.com Live team was working on "City Zoom," the second installment of the series “My Online Life,” we were expecting stories of new restaurants and getting lost on the way to the grocery store.

What we got were new and different ways to learn about the city you’re in. iReporters Taryn P. and Steve Burns turned us on to “Tweetups.” Through Twitter, people turn their online community into real life friendships and networking when they meet for mingling.

iReporter Kristy Griggs kept the new ideas coming, pointing us to her blog about transplanting into a new city. By sharing her experiences, she hopes she can help other people with an adjustment to a new city.

All of these iReporters were featured in Friday’s installment of “My Online Life.” If you have unique experiences to share about how your time on line helps your time offline, send us an iReport and let us know!

October 27, 2009		JoelR Great and I am hoping they will succeed! Every now and again, a financial emergency happens and you could use small unsecured loans. Unsecured loans are simply loans that are not backed by collateral. For instance, a mortgage is lent with the purpose of purchasing property, and therefore has collateral, same with a car loan. Unsecured loans, just like credit cards or any other financial tool, are best used as a source of emergency funding, and only in that fashion – they are a short term solution to a short term problem, and long term problems need to be dealt with by long term solutions. If you're thinking of unsecured loans as cash until payday for emergencies occasionally, that's fairly responsible, but they aren't for funding a shopping spree.
