When I found out that the Twitter and Facebook applications for Xbox 360 wouldn't be included in the upcoming August-bound dashboard update, I became admittedly sadder than any human being ought to be over such a silly thing.
Microsoft's James Halton was able to reassure us that the social networking functionality is still on the way, noting that autumn was the target release period. However, he did mention Facebook and Twitter would be available for Xbox 360 "before Christmas" at the latest.
For the time being, the newly added Netflix parties will have to suffice. For those of you who didn't get a "sneak peek" (or whatever Microsoft is calling it) of the new dashboard update, they are everything you would want them to be.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

I'm sure none of us are sadder about this than good ole Michi.
SO ANNOYING!
Facebook is at least actually useful for those so inclined.
Unfortunately, seeing how 90% of the population are idiots, i can truly see this thing being a success for MS.
You know it's not going to work in the background, right?
