E3 09: @everyone Twitter on XBLA LOL, video #E3 photo

My headline makes no sense, but neither does anything else anyone says on Twitter. As you may have heard, now that senselessness now will spread to the Xbox 360, along with the Internet's other time crunch, Facebook.

This combo of timesinks are perfect for those guys who never shut their Xbox 360 off. And those people would be us. As the lovely Felicia Day explains in this video, you'll be able to view your Facebook photos and status updates on your living room television. Add friends. Look for dirty pictures of hot girls that you added a long time ago. Tell people what you ate for lunch.

The Twitter app looks much like the PC version, with little word bubbles all over the screen. Twitter makes a bit less sense to me, as you'd almost always be tweeting that you're on Xbox Live. I guess you could share with your followers what game you're playing. Twitter will become that much more busy. I wonder how the Fail Whale will look in high-definition.

Dale, I'm glad someone else said it. I'm am so very sick of Twitter. I truly believe they call it "Tweeting" as not to be uncovered as "Twits"....

Who the hell is Felicia Day? I know that with google a mere click away in any instance, I could just find out, but I'm too lazy for that and it undermines my whole, who the 'ell is she, eh? thing that I've got going on. I watched this clip on xbox live this morning and all is she can say is "if you're like me..." "like me" and "people like me". I'm not like you Felicia Day. Not even a little. But I am going to google the ever loving crap out of you. Oh, you're in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Which means you must be one of Josh Whedon's wank-fetish love-object like Eliza Dushku and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Well, it's a living I suppose.
