The new support Microsoft’s Xbox has added for Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm indicates a new horizon for socially integrated game consoles.
These socially integrated game consoles, in fact, make you that much more social. Hopefully they will make you more social in a good way.
I say that I hope socially integrated game consoles will make gamers more interactive in a good way because the new network integration for Xbox is making gamers more social in a different way. We are coursing through uncharted waters here, and there is a lot of social experimentation that will arise as a result.
What kind of experimentation, you may ask? There are a few ways in which socially integrated networks and game consoles could play out, and this could end up making us dually social and isolated in a very unique manner. The question is; will social networking integration on Xbox 360 and other gaming consoles make us more connected or less connected with our friends?
