Linking Lights: The Top 5 Links of the Week

What you’re about to read are the top 5 links of the week, compiled and rated by the VaynerMedia office – some are tech, some are sports, some are funny, some are random, but all of the links are interesting… or so we think!

Matt Sitomer: Chase Customers Can Now Deposit Checks Via I Phone. Mobile functionality is creeping into more and more unexpected places.

Anthony Liang: Facebook Pushes Credits Off Site Via My Town. Very interesting to see what Facebook can do with their currency.

Joe Whitmarsh: What Is @Earlybird. Late last week Twitter announced @earlybird and recently went into detail on it’s upcoming project with advertisers. Time sensitive and limited supply deals for “early bird” followers to “catch the worm”. Will be interesting to see how it performs compared to sites like Groupon.

Kari Elam: Teens Experiencing Facebook Fatigue. A great reference point to gauge demo targeting by social network, and behavioral trends among GenYers. Teens spend 80% of internet time on social networks but 1/5 of teens on FB no longer use their account.

David Zhang: Foursquare Launches Location Layers. Very big news regarding a feature that all Geo-App users have been anticipating for a while!
