Denver, Colorado (CaymanMama.com) — Adding to the high-tech features of its popular Xbox 360 gaming console, Microsoft Corp is now putting plans in motion to add more social and entertainment features by implementing music-streaming service last.fm, Facebook and Twitter into its Xbox Live online community.

Users of the live community will have the ability to track and communicate with friends using the Web’s popular social networking sites, no computer needed.

The boost, announced on Monday, will change the console system into more than just a gaming tool.

According to Reuters, “The announcement came at E3, the annual video game conference in Los Angeles, where Microsoft also unveiled new games that will play on the game system.”

“This expands the reach of Xbox live,” said Shane Kim, Microsoft’s vice president of strategy and business development for video games. “We have had an effort of making Xbox live a next-generation social and entertainment network.
