Microsoft announced today on its E3 Press Conference that Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm integration will be brought to the Xbox 360 dashboard.
- Tweeting will be easy as nothing from your Xbox.
- You can now view photos, make friends, and otherwise interact on Facebook directly from the game console. With Facebook Connect, available from your Xbox 360, you will be able to post photos directly from within a running game, allowing instant social interaction with your friends and mates. A future version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour will support this feature.
- Last.fm, a social music platform, will be added to Xbox Live. While Xbox Live Gold members can use Last.fm for free, other subscribers will have to pay for getting access to the Last.fm radios.

I logged into Facebook tonight and saw an advertisement from Facebook’s fan page about this. Great news.
