Twitter 360

Microsoft cleared up all the questions yesterday about whether or not Facebook and Twitter would be available only to Gold members. To me this is a pretty obvious question since Microsoft would want everyone to ideally be a Gold member but since you all love official statements here it is:

Facebook and Twitter on Xbox LIVE will be free to Gold members, with a free trial period also available for Silver members. Facebook and Twitter on Xbox LIVE will offer a truly one-of-a-kind social experience, completely optimized for the TV and seamlessly integrated onto your console. Add to that exclusive access to Last.fm, Netflix instant streaming, demos, trailers and discounts, plus the best multiplayer gaming network on the planet, and we’re confident Xbox LIVE Gold memberships is hands-down the best value in home entertainment. We’re committed to adding new features and value for our Gold members, and will continue to do so.

Silver members will get to use Facebook and Twitter but only for a trial period. The time is probably a researched number that is the exact amount of time you need to get hooked on the service.
