One Million New Last.fm Profiles Created Since Xbox Update
It appears that the new social media-centric Xbox update has done wonders for online music service Last.fm. Ever since its inclusion on the 360's dashboard, there have been almost a million new profiles created on the site and users have streamed more than 120 million minutes worth of music. In addition, almost two million Facebook users logged into their profile via their gaming console for the first time. Zune's functionality is doing similarly well, with 1.7 million Xbox owners checking out the service in its first week. It seems that this fall's update has seen some solid initial success. How about you, have you been using your 360 to check Facebook photos, send tweets, watch Zune video, or stream Last.fm stations?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
