Australian and New Zealand Xbox Live users clocked up more than 101 million hours on the interactive gaming service during the 2009 financial year. With the service set to incorporate social networking sites, including Facebook and Twitter, Current.com.au asked Xbox senior product category manager Jeremy Hinton how secure this service was, from both a social and technological perspective.
In his response, Hinton said that control was a big part of the Xbox Live experience. Microsoft wants to control the interactions between users, with corporate social responsibility playing a part in this decision. Hinton said this was one of the reasons why, unlike the PlayStation 3, Xbox Live does not incorporate open web browsing.
