Facebook and Twitter without the Keyboard

Xbox 360 anounced at E3 that they were going to add social media to their xbox live experience. They are adding a Facebook app, a Twitter app, and Last.FM.

Every business and their mother is all about the tweeting these days, which personally  don’t really care about. The best thing about Twitter is how easy it is to ignore people, which is a major plus since it has been getting so spammy these days (Thats a whole nother post for another day). I am just hoping that it is a program like you use on your phone or TweetDeck and not a program that can autopost whenever your status changes.

There is a Facebook app already that tells people what you are doing on xbox and  don’t like having to ignore my friends posts for flooding my news feed. The only time I canre what you are doing on XBOX Live, is when I am on xbox live, which I can already do or if they are playing UNO, but thats just because thats a good game.

The one cool thing that I read though is that through the new Facebook app you can take a screenshot of a game and post it to your facebook page. That’s a cool idea. So now when I get a triple bogey in Tiger Woods I can let everyone know.

The last program they announces was LastFM. I am sure I could have a comment for this one, but I don’t. It is always nice to have addition places to play music. Just like everyother anouncment these are all just new places to do things that we have already been doing.

I don’t even like typing out a quick message to someone on xbox live. Hopefully they will announce why this is different than using my computer or even my phone, both of those have full Keyboards.
