Today see's the release of a long anticipated update to Xbox live, featuring a number of new features:

Twitter
Facebook
Zune
Last.Fm

Here's some screenshots:





I think it's great. Twitter is awesome, Facebook is easy to navigate, and works well. Last.fm isn't available in Aus atm, but lots of streaming music sounds cool.

Zune is just awesome. if you're watching a movie and someone else joins your party, they can watch it too. How cool is that.

Anyways, what do all the Xbox users think? What other app's would you like to see? I'd love a youtube one, but to my knowledge, YT/Google rejected the idea.

Last.fm is cool but you can't stream music from it during games FTL. You have to actually have the app open, which means that I won't be using it a lot as I actually play games on my Xbox.

Alex
Should be in your dash literally next to the Zune download link

I'd want a MySpace app D:

Myspace is for emo teenagers. Really though, youtube was the only one I would want. Dissapointed it won't ever come.

but youtube videos can be watched over apple tv, why don't they want millions of microsoft users to be exposed to google product/google ad potential?
Crash Jordan
Not sure, can't imagine Google like Microsoft much.

cool...i've had this for like a month and a half now
Crash Jordan
You had the BETA, not the release candidate. ;)

This is pretty awesome for those people who own a Xbox and like social networking. I, unfortunately don't own a Xbox of any kind, and would probably only use Zune out of these apps.

I would download this if I could download it. I don't understand the age limit on the download. You have to be 18 for facebook and twitter? I mean c'mon now. I decided to be honest when signing up, and I'm not going to make another account.

Being honest is the worst mistake, when I get a xbox I'll just make another account because I told the truth on my regular email

Felicia Day for the win.

I don't own an Xbox but even if I did I doubt I'd use it that much. I do have plenty of friends who use it though, it'll be nice being able to contact them via facebook.
Flatypus
Eh? Its not coming up. How do I get Last.fm >:(
I saw somebody said something about a system update... how do I do that? I'm new to Xbox ~:(

Do you have Live and the latest software?

If you have FB and your Xbox is set up right, it should be in the music marketplace.
