Help test Facebook and Twitter on 360

Microsoft is inviting people to help test the Xbox Live update that introduces Facebook and Twitter support.

All you have to do is visit the sign-up site and fill in your details, which include your console ID and serial number.

Microsoft is seeking "multiple thousands of participants" according to Major Nelson, and the programme is open to people in any region that supports Live, with Gold members given preference, though not to the exclusion of Silver users.

According to a leak over the weekend, Microsoft plans to roll the update out for everyone on 17th November, although we still await confirmation.
