A while back Microsoft announced that they will be rolling in a update on the XBox 360 console to enable users to Twitter, Facebook and Last.FM from the comfort of their couch on a big screen TV.

So last night I decided that its time to test out this functionality. Using the applications is really straight forward, just log in with your credentials and away you go.

The Twitter interface looks really sleek and nice, but just don’t try to do a status update with your remote control. Writing the update is really time consuming as you need to move around the on-screen keyboard with your remote control to find the correct letters, not worry, all I did to avoid this was pop in a usb keyboard and all was well again.

All the the Xbox 360 now lacks is a browser, would be cool to be able to open up the links on tweets and view them. Me hold thumbs that they do not implement IE on the Xbox 360.

Jesse Clegg, the son of South African music legend Johnny Clegg, has hit the music scene with a big bang with his debut album called “When I Wake Up”. You may know him from his song Today, video bellow.

Cape Town residents can look forward to seeing Jesse Clegg live this weekend the 12th of September at the Assembly. Fifty bucks get you in if you order tickets over the web at WebTickets, or R60 at the door.

Some more great news for Jesse Clegg fans is that KFM 94.5, the Cape’s no 1 music station, will be bringing Jesse Clegg to Cape Town for his first big area gig in Cape Town. KFM will bring Capetonians Jesse Clegg in October 2009, more details to follow soon.
