Microsoft’s Xbox is joining the social networking revolution this winter. Microsoft announced Monday that they will be joining forces with Twitter and Facebook bringing an interactive boost to the entertainment console. Microsoft’s Xbox has created platforms for both Facebook and Twitter that will allow users to log in and use each account from the comfort of there living room, lounging back on that nice comfy sofa!

Microsoft’s Facebook platform on Xbox 360 will offer many similar features as Facebook offers via a regular web browser. It is set up and used very similarly to your standard Xbox 360 platform. Here’s a few things you’ll be able to do with this new Xbox 360 Facebook Platform:

• Status updates
• Profiles
• Friend Browsing
• Friend Requests
• Messaging
• Photo Sharing
• Video Sharing
• Wall Posts and Comments
• and much more…

Xbox 360’s version of Twitter looks very similar to the standard Twitter web browswer. Twitter on Xbox will allow Xbox 360 owners to update their personal status from the dashboard, communicate with friends,  and favorite tweets. It is viewed and used just like the web browser and I’ve heard it’s very easy to navigate.

Check out the fun video I made explaining all this:

So how does this effect you? This is just the beginning what I refer to as The Social Media Revolution! It’s not a bad thing at all, in fact it’s going to be a huge shift in the way we interact and the way we communicate. There isn’t much of a business lesson here, however I want you to see how fast this is growing.

The world is changing and your personal life and business must be able to adapt quickly to keep up! So ask yourself. How will you make changes in your life to keep up with these dramatic changes we are already seeing?

To your success,
