Because of many user who really need more information and communication with their friends, not just play game. It marked a definitive expansion into social networking for the console and a strategy of broadening the Xbox brand into a wider entertainment realm beyond gaming.

As promised in early June at the E3 event, 360 Live users will see Twitter, Facebook and streaming radio service Last.fm available to their community as downloadable apps. Additionally, the existing Netflix application is expected to be updated to allow users to browse through titles directly from Live. With the promise of on-demand games, streaming videos, music and a new social media component, the Xbox community is about to look a lot like open source media center Boxee. Jennifer Puzio-Brooks an Entertainment Manager for Xbox has mentioned that the public beta for Xbox’s latest update that will include Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm integration will be going public this month. No solid date has been set for beta except it should go public sometime later this month. It doesn’t look like this beta will run like the last beta Microsoft had for their Dashboard update, it looks like you will not have the chance to sign up, but rather invites will be sent out to the community and to the press.

Facebook Integration
The Facebook integration may even have improved on the photo album browsing interface of the actual Facebook.com site, with snappy loading times and full-screen images making it even easier to browse through you or your friends’ photo galleries.
There’s also a very nice feature coming with the Facebook implementation as well: the ability to see which of your Facebook friends have Xbox Live accounts. Of course, you may already be Xbox Live friends with some of them, but what about the folks you might not have had the chance to exchange gamertags with, or even the friends you don’t even know are gamers? The new Dashboard update will solve that problem by identifying your Facebook friends on XBLA that haven’t friended you there yet.

Twitter and Last.fm
The Twitter implementation is a bit more bare bones, but nevertheless provides a way to update your status, see updates from those you’re following, and also see trending topics and perform searches. As Joystiq notes, without an on-board web browser with which to follow links and view Twitpics though, it almost calls to attention the glaring omission of web browsing on the Xbox 360.
The Last.fm implementation also gets high marks for user interface design, with most of the functionality users are familiar with brought into the Xbox Live integration. You can listen to your various stations, create new ones, skip tracks, add favorites, and get more information about individual tracks and artists.
