News: Microsoft brings social networking to Xbox Live.
Microsoft has announced the Fall Dashboard Update which launches on December 4th (which can only technically be considered a part of fall) will include a new feature dubbed Friends of Friends.
Taking a cue from social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, Friends of Friends will allow Xbox Live users to explore the Friends List of their friends and the community at large.
Xbox Live users will be able to select three different privacy levels for the Friends of Friends feature:
Everyone (only available to members 18 and older)
Friends only (available to members 13 and older)
Blocked (available to all members, and automatic for anyone under the age of 13)
The privacy settings can be set online at Xbox.com/fof
We'll have more on the Fall Dashboard Update soon.
