E3 09: Here's what Facebook/Twitter looks like on Xbox 360 photo

Announced by the charming and small Felicia Day earlier today at Microsoft's E3 media briefing, both Twitter and Facebook integration are coming to Xbox LIVE this Fall.

Visually, it's seamlessly integrated with the existing NXE interface. Functionally, it should work that way as well -- you'll be able to view updates, photos, and add friends to your Xbox LIVE list right from the Xbox 360 Facebook/Twitter applications. 

It looks pretty slick, for sure, and as a Twitter addict myself it's definitely neat. But until I actually start using it for any kind of functional social interaction online, I'm not sure if it's needed. 

How do you think it looks?

Will I be able to change my Twitter avatar on XBL? I seriously hope so, because I've been trying to do it on the site for the past two weeks and it just keeps disappearing.

"How do you think it looks"

Lie the AIDS of the internet (Myspace,Facebook,Twitter) has eaten through my shelter of a condom and infected my 360 with the pre-AIDS HIV.

Yea, it looks good, but I still think a browser would be better.

@NickChester Unless you have a messenger, totally useless. Even with a messenger is rather useless.

Looks pretty cool. FB and Twitter are easy things that are pretty handy, and being able to upload screenshots is nice. There's some nice integration possibilites with both.

Would have been better for some of this stuff to be actually ready though...

I rarely ever use Facebook, and I just registered for twitter a day or two ago...but I guess this is cool for the people who are really into the two.
