The Twitter integration will have real-time updates right on your dashboard, so users can always stay up-to-date on who you are following. Users can also post directly from Xbox LIVE to Twitter, reply to other users and send and receive direct messages. Users can also "favourite" posts directly on Xbox LIVE to recall at a later date.
Users can enjoy their favourite music using Last.fm when it launches and even watch videos on Zune video. Great news if you are a Zune HD owner, you will soon be able to play TV shows and movies on your Zune, laptop or Xbox 360 in full 1080p.
