Welcome to Morning Hangover -- an excellent way to start your day with the crew at TheFeed...no matter what you're recovering from. Every morning you'll hear musings from our editors and have the chance to share your thoughts on what's going on in the gaming world.
Patrick Klepek: Later today, you'll learn more about my experiences playing with Twitter and Facebook on my Xbox 360. When Microsoft announced the social networks were coming to Xbox 360 at E3 this year, I was quickly impressed. As someone who uses both on a daily basis, however, I question their use on my Xbox. There don't seem to be many times where it makes sense to drop into the Xbox 360 version of Facebook or Twitter when I can pull up the faster versions on my iPhone. But this is only after a night of use, long before most of my friends have signed on. Do you think you'll use it?

Well, I'm in the preview program and I gotta say...facebook seems useless and far inferior to just using the actual website. All you can do is view photos or leave comments. Haven't tried twitter since I don't have an account there, but if its like the facebook app, it makes me wonder why they even bothered putting both on there.
However, Last FM is a highly welcome addition. Zune Marketplace is also nice since you can finally buy movies instead of being forced to rent them. Though...doesn't seem like the library of movies are very high...they'll need to fix that.

No. Idon't even own an 360. Microsoft is just money hog inside and out.

Do I want Twitter and Facebook on my xbox 360? Hell no. I don't even want that crap on the internet.

I'd rather use Facebook on my Laptop where I can block any ads that come up.

I'll use it. At least once... I find twitter to be usable only because I have TweetDeck. If the XBox one can't sort people out in Twitter so I can have different lists/groups/whatever, then I'll stick with the PC.

Nope! I play video games, online with friends. I don't want anyone to know what the hell I am doing. Hey look at me I am pooping. Hey I am eating my lunch with Seth Killan from Capcom. Hey my wife just slapped me. This is just more ways Microsoft is trying to get girls onto the xbox360. I have 3 computers already. My wife is on face book and twitter 24/7. No thanks......I would rather hadoken a face or two.

I don't even use Facebook on my computer, and I don't have a Twitter account. I'll see what last.fm has to offer but I've always preferred my own song library to that of any radio station (Internet or otherwise).
No, what excites me about this update is the Zune Marketplace in all it's HD streaming glory.
(not that I think that the other features are anything but good, someone will like them and that's good for that person)

As someone who hates both Twitter and Facebook I don't know. I know my girlfriend used it a couple of times on my PS3 but it she was more excited she could instead of being generally excited it was there. Maybe since it's on the Dash Board you 360 owners guys might use it a lot more.

sounds cool kill some noobs + get some girls= one heck of a gaming experience

The only thing I'd like it for is the FB friend sync and if it would update Twitter to say what game I'm playing. Other than that, it really doesn't matter. In fact, people probably don't care what you're playing since they can just open the dash.

Here's a good piece of news for this morning.
Sam Rami confirmed that Bruce Campbell will get a pretty big role in Spidey 4. I could care less about the movie after the 3rd but Bruce is always fun to watch.

No not really I don't want to have to turn on my xbox and have girlfriend sitting next to me checking what other girls Ive been talking to.

I don't even use the browser on PS3, I probably won't use this. I use my phone more than anything for FB anyway.
