The YoVille 2010, 4th of July items have arrived in the furniture store. There are actually quite a few coin items in this collection.

This 4th of July collection is adorned with red, white and blue stars and stripes. The collection includes a Patio Chair, sectional sofas; both side and front view, a pool mattress (you cannot sit or lay on it, but when you place it, it appears as if it is floating), umbrella, lounge chair, Adirondack chair, a spread out towel-you cannot sit or lay on it, a stack of folded towels, a drink cooling barrel, balloon cluster decoration, a balloon arch, 4th of July 3 tiered cake, a set of 3 candles and a throw pillow.

I just bought up all the coins items myself. Whether it's one of the new summer homes or a coin home you are creatively converting into your 2010 summer home, this collection will be a good addition. Enjoy the new items and get busy creating your summertime getaway for the 4th of July, YoVille style. YoVille July 4th items 01

Ride the waves in YoVille with the Surfing Photo Booth

YoVille Surfing Photo Booth
In one of the more strange releases we have seen in awhile, Zynga has launched a new Surfing Photo Booth in YoVille that lets players put their avatars in a surfing scene and take a snapshot. The new photo booth is available in the Furniture Store for 12 YoCash, and once placed in your home it can be used by any visitors who happen to stop by. If you don't have the spare YoCash, you can always visit one of your neighbors and use theirs.

To use a Surfing Photo Booth, click on the booth in either your home or a friend's home. Once you click it, you'll see your avatar on a surfing background and can pose yourself and take a screenshot. After you take a screenshot, you can share it on your wall. You also earn a little bit of coins for putting a surfing photo on your wall.

While it's clear that this feature is strictly to drive players to post on their wall to bring potential new players to YoVille, it's still a neat feature. Seeing your YoVille avatar in a surfing scene is quite cute and comical. Unfortunately, 12 YoCash isn't cheap - but perhaps a friend of yours will have a photo booth you can borrow!
