This posts is strictly for teens, and by "teens" I mean people between the ages of 13 and 17 who are Xbox Live Gold members, so if this isn't you, please stop reading immediatly...
Seriously, stop reading this post. Go read The Wall Street Journal or something, old man.
Are they gone? Good. Now that it's just us kids, I'm gonna "rap" at you in a language that you'll totally grok, and lay down a real bummer trip: According to Microsoft's Major Nelson, the Xbox Live versions of Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm that are coming to Gold members won't be usable by anyone under the age of 18. That, my homies, is wickety, wickety wack. Denied... TO THE EXTREME!
Major Nelson says: "We made this decision because as it stands now, parents aren’t able to use Family Settings to customize which of these applications their children can access."
Dude, that's a total downer. But don't become a cutter or light up a crack-pipe: There's hope. According to Nelson, the radical dudes over at Microsoft are "working on an update that gives parents the choice of which social applications their children can access," so hang tight, good buddy. 10-4!
Now that all the parents/adults are gone, I want you all to check out this tubular TV show I found on the YouTubes... but make sure you get your homework done! Homework is for awesomes:

Well, I was going to get an 360 this black Friday, because I still need to get one even though my PS3 has been good to me. Looks like I'll just get a PSP go instead.

I was lucky. I received the update about 10 days before my 18th Birthday. I really like how it is. Now I don't have to get on the Computer just to see what my friends have been doing or to see the latest tweet I have.

DPsx7 is right. Only 5% of Xbox owners will be eligible for these features.

OMFG how do you expect a "teenager to fully grasp or even know of the concept of "Grok" Most of the kids probably don't pick up a book to read more than once a year much less classic Sci-Fi like heinlien. . .

Shoots down the idea of the 360 being a immature console.

DPsx72
Well that effectively cuts off 95% of the userbase huh? Guess the gimmicky feature wasn't such a hot idea after all. Should have left it on PC.

Screw you Microsoft.

Thank you for making me feel old.
tommy_deathdoll

Cool now I don't have to worry about my kids doing something wrong online. Where did you guys get this magic software that does not allow children to use certain content? I can tell this has FAIL written all over it.
