All,

Twitter.com is a community of friends and strangers from around the world sending updates about moments in their lives.

As Xbox Live and Live Anywhere are a social networks by definition bridging the two is just a smart move. Xbox Live Nation now features a fully revamped twitter.com integration where you can allow the core XLN Live engine to send your live activities to your twitter account.

The major changes:

Standard integration per game: The engine will on intervals check and only send updates to twitter.com if your game has changed or if your online status has changed. This for example means that the engine will detect game changes but also detect when you go offline and send one last update to twitter.com to tell your friends that you went offline.

Frequency updates: You still have the option to send more frequent updates so if you want you can still send high frequency updates


Live twitter wall the page also features an overview wall of a number of random gamers currently iusing the service. Clicking on the tiles will load addtional information.



As a bonus service you can still directly send "standard" messages directly from the Xbox Live Nation website.

To use the service you have to be a registered member of XLN (Register (http://www.xboxlivenation.com/community/register.php?do=signup)) and you must be logged in.

To access the service use the "Live portal" main menu or the "Live twitter" in the top menu.

I have selected the "Standard integration (one entry per game)" option, but I am still getting multiple entries on Twitter during the same game session. See my twitter page (http://twitter.com/dadditude/) to see what I mean.

Did you hit the insert update button when you selected it?

I'll do some more testing

I just forced 16 updates on your live status and it didn't change anything on your twitter page.

It should with standard only change something if you go offline or if you change game / go to dashboard

yep the one and only, sorry


The flooding should now be over with just one entry per gamer and one if you go offline so your "gaming session" is closed for the people following you.

The entries from dadditude are older ones, probably debugging stuff then.

The momemnt of his post I forced the entry script to 16 times try to send stuff while he was online.

The conditionals in code protected the duplicates, so seems very strange.

The only way that this is currently possible is when you set the option to high frequency update in the drop down.

The error cannot be reproduced, just tried it again.

Still getting multiple posts for the same game and multiple posts for when I am offline as well, so I am disabling it for now (added an extra character to the end of my Username so the login would fail).

I'll have another check

It is caused by inconsistencies in the dataflows coming from live.

I'll write up a verification module to compensate.

If you blank out your username and password and click insert/update the engine doesn't know your account anymore and the updates stop
