Social Media Networks in XBOX – A Smash hit or A Waste
The Xbox Live is recently added with Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm. And microsoft is saying this proves to be a major hit. And all are welcoming this feature.
According to Microsoft spokesman David Dennis, the first-week figures show that at least 2 million Xbox Live users have logged into Facebook, and that half a million Last.fm accounts were created in the first 24 hours of availability.
But in fact the users atleast some of them are underwhelmed. Also some of them thinks this implementation, how it is implemented is not the way they expected.
Some users have posted status updates as “First and last post from the xbox”. Well this explains what microsoft says, is actually not happening. This may not be a smashing hit at all. This is a new feature, so everyone will be waiting for trying it. So these numbers are quite normal for the first few weeks, What counts is the users who regularly login to facebook and all using XBOX, but for this we have to wait.
One users comment for the reported news at Downloadsquad.com,
Great features in writing, but very poorly executed.
Until I can access Twitter and Facebook through the Guide button, I have no need for either one on the 360.
And Last.FM? What’s the point of turning on the jet engines and leaving your TV on the whole time, just to get an ad-filled music experience with a poor resolution slideshow going on in the background? No thanks. Again, give me music streaming through the Guide button that can be played while gaming, and I’ll actually use it.
Not hard to believe the stats for the week one, but let’s have a look at week 2 stats.
