These are my links for July 10th from 11:49 to 23:27:

  • Location Layering Begins On Foursquare – Another first for Foursquare – The Huffington Post and the Independent Film Channel (IFC) have launched campaigns to add their own ‘layers’ to the location service.
  • 10 Cool Facebook Status Tips and Tricks – With Facebook’s ever-changing layout, and the fact that other social sites are encroaching on its real-time update strangle-hold, it’s easy to forget that there are some pretty nifty tricks you can pull using your humble Facebook status.
  • How "Real" Media Misses The Point Of Social Media – Mainstream media is in a scramble to add voice to its content. They’re struggling to maintain (not even grow) audience and they know in order to compete in the new world of blogs, tweets and status updates, they need that added appeal.
  • Volvo supplies cars for new London drive-in volvo – The concept of the pop-up drive-in movie is not brand-new—we covered a California-based effort back in 2006, after all—but we're pretty sure the involvement of a major car brand has not been seen before. Sure enough, though, that's exactly what's enabled the Starlite Urban Drive-in, which recently sold out a three-night run in London's East End.
  • Foursquare Means Businesses: Have you checked-in yet? – Location-based services are once again changing the face of social networking. Where relationships were once at the center of user experience, in the Golden Triangle of mobile, social, and real-time interaction, “places” take center stage and corresponding  activities and rewards become the cast and crew of the production.
  • Experts Agree: Gen Y Will Not Grow Out of Social Networking [STUDY] – In a survey conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, an overwhelming majority of technology experts and stakeholders believe that social networking and online sharing is more than just a fad for today’s youth.
  • Advice for Bloggers: Write for the World (good guide) – In the new book, The Yahoo! Style Guide, bloggers are advised to “write for the world.” We’re reminded that the web is a worldwide medium and “site visitors probably come from more than one country and more than one culture. Collectively, they probably speak several languages.”
  • Foursquare May Add “Choose Your Own Adventure” Style Gaming To Its Service – Foursquare may be adding additional gaming elements into its location-based social networking service to attract more customers. Currently, Foursquare users earn points and badges for ‘checking-in’ at various venues that can be redeemed against special deals.
