Millions Using Xbox Live's Social Media Features
A week ago Microsoft launched new social media features that allowed users to access Facebook, Twitter and LastFM via Xbox Live. Just seven days later, Microsoft says millions of people are using the features.
The Facebook feature has been used the most with company spokesperson David Dennis detailing that the first-week figures show that at least 2 million Xbox Live users have logged into Facebook. CNET cites Dennis as saying 120 million minutes of music were streamed from Last.fm and half a million Last.fm accounts were created in the first 24 hours of availability. While there were no specifics for Twitter, Dennis says there have been "tweets from nearly every market where we have Xbox Live."

Would be nice to use the Last.FM feature more but my 360 is just too loud to use as a serious audio source. Shame really.
