I agree. Personally I don't see any real reason to use Facebook or twitter on my 360. I already hardly use my twitter account and the fact that you have to access the tab and wait for it all to load up just seems...long and stupid considering most of us have a decent connection and working legs to do the same said thing on a desktop....or simply put a controller down and turn to the side to the laptop.
Actually, all this can really apply to the 360 overall dashboard in general. It looks nice, but it's still implemented very poorly. Things are still slow to load up, and if i'm supposed to access twitter and facebook a bit quicker than say a computer/mobile phone, the 360 isn't there.
but this is just the first version. I don't expect that much of a update in the future, but just my thoughts on it. I don't use either on my 360 (outside the finding 360 owners or facebook and vice versa) and the fact you can't listen to Last.FM channels during gameplay is probably the biggest wtf.

Good points man, I can see how those features would be instantly helpful.
They also need to make twitter and Facebook available to minors.

I overslept and missed yoga this morning,so annoying!
err, I mean..
Unread Tweets and Facebook alerts/messages integrated in the guide would actually be pretty useful if they could be browsed without exiting. And I think it goes without saying that Last.fm is useless until it can be used in-game.

or they could just do it like Sony did it on PS3 :-)
use a 'semi-real' browser for actually visiting twitter and FB, and implement spam-features ( like announcing which trophies you score in games )...
I've tried both, but being unable to follow links on twitter kinda makes it totally useless as about 80% of the interesting tweets have links in them, so I doubt I'll ever use it again...
though your ideas would help as well :-)

Here's my idea.
Ingame webbrowser, a la Steam. Solves everything. Of course, MS wouldn't comprimise the security of their precious little boxes of heat, so I don't think that'll ever happen.

This is right and true.
And while we are at it, Last.FM, while absolutely amazing, needs to be playable outside of the channel. Sure, bandwidth might not be able to pull off music and L4D2, but I'm sure it could work for plenty of the things the 360 does.
