Facebook, Twitter Coming to Xbox 360

June 1, 2009 11:45 AM

The Guild and Sears commercial star Felicia Day today appeared on-stage during Microsoft's E3 2009 Media Briefing to demonstrate Facebook for the Xbox 360.

Using the New Xbox Experience interface, users can browse the various aspects of the social networking site, including photos, messages, friends, status updates, and so on.

Facebook users will be able to post screenshots and text from in-game with new Facebook Connect functionality, with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 set to use Connect.

Twitter will also be coming to Xbox 360, enabling users to browse and post "tweets" directly from their Xbox 360.

Both Facebook and Twitter will be coming to Xbox Live sometime this fall.

  I'm pretty sure they're not going to force you to use it.
