Uber Serves Taste of Future on Ice Cream Day, The Next Web. It's Uber ice cream delivery day! The brand has done an excellent job creating conversation around the globe (38 countries and 6 continents!).

Take Beyonce and Jay-Z Shopping, Seattle Met. From a content perspective I thought this Seattle Met article was really fun. Definitely a clever way to talk about the Seattle shopping scene while tying in one of the biggest concert events of the summer. T-minus 2 weeks until Seattle goes crazy for this power couple! -- Chelsey

SnapChat Uses World Cup to Flex Media Muscles, Digiday. Snapchat stepped into Twitter's space a bit when it launched Rio Live, a real-time curation of users' Snaps from the World Cup.

SnapChat Adds Filters That Unlock Art Based on Your Location, Mashable. Snapchat also added a new feature this week that allows its users to swipe to add art relevant to your current location. Example: you can add a picture of a roller coaster and a ferris wheel while visiting the Santa Monica pier. Waiting for them to add Seattle to this mix! -- Megan
Super Moon Rising over Crescent Lake. Anyone see the “super moon” this weekend? This is my favorite shot of it from this past weekend camping and I figured I should share it. — Colin
