Xbox 360 Dashboard Update
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.
