Facebook and Twitter removed from Xbox 360 dash
According to The Verge a source familiar with the matter indicated that the decision was made in order to encourage users to use newly introduced Internet Explorer
Although both social networking apps are still prominently displayed on the official Xbox website, they are no longer available to download through the marketplace.
Consoles that had Facebook and Twitter installed prior to the update can continue to use them, but new users will have to turn to the browser.

FFA This decision doesn't effect me at all. I think it's kinda dumb to go on to those social networking apps on the Xbox anyway. People can just use their computers or phones.
Exactly.
