Xbox One The Friends App (review by Major Nelson)

[Karemat]

The Friends App on the upcoming Xbox One is an app for communicating with up to 1000 friends (10 times bigger then earlier versions) which lets you follow users a similar way as in Twitter.
You can easily change settings about what you share as well as what your friends will be allowed to view.
In the video below, Major Nelson explains in detail this amazing app, bringing light to all the aspects - video uploading, achievements, activities and feed :

well, i don't really like the design, honestly. It would be better if it was more interacting and sight-grapsing. But, despite that the devs did a pretty good job, and the 1000 friends is definitely a plus if you are really into the community and constantly interacting with the members. Following is also a cool thing, kind of a in-the-system Twitter.

The app is just what i needed - a convenient way to keep in contact with all my friends. Design is good as well as functionality. And Major did a great job in getting all those topics out to the crowd. 1000 friends seems like a little too much for me, but it does sound cool. cheers.
