Krewz71’s Consolidated Info Blog

I am still liking the interface of Facebook on Xbox Live. The one draw back that I would consider a change is the inability to send a comment to a friend. Now having an iPhone available with a Facebook app is handy but why go to two different places to get a simple take done.

That being said I find the overal experience very good fast and friendly. Having the chat pad does make a big difference of course. Now I am not the biggest poster in the world, and I doubt people are reading this itself, so I am not sure how well it works with a large number of posts and friends.

But having the ability to switch from a game and see posts on a bit TV is great.

Reading some of the comments online about integrating further with the pop up messages that say your friends are online is a good idea. However, this would need to be an option as getting an update on every comment and posting will get annoying.

Still liking it so will maybe do another follow blog post.

I was just accepted to the beta of the Xbox 360 Dashboard update. This update gives the Facebook, Twitter, Zune, Last.FM and news update.

I have to say that my first impressions are really good. The Last.FM has a great interface. Of course the service itself is great and does an excellent job of finding music that fits the stations you set up based on an artist. I’ll try out more of the features as I go. Having the pictures show up based on the song you are listening to is OK. The other section of finding the artist is great and seeing all the bacground info.

Facbook is good and I am impressed with the speed on getting photos and info. Will spend time using that combined with the iPhone app.

Twitter is a good interface as well and does a nice display job of tweets. The ability to go into a Tweet and either Retweet something do a direct reply etc is slick. Of course the one thing you miss out on is the ability to view links with no Internet access on the Xbox 360 itself.

One thing that is a must I think is a chat pad for easy posting.

Maybe now I’ll post more on the blog here with further thoughts.
