Kids around the universe (excluding the US) can now access all the new premium Xbox LIVE Dashboard applications — with parental approval, that is. According toMajor Nelson, Microsoft launched an update earlier this afternoon allowing baby LIVE account owners access to Twitter, Facebook and Last.FM. Neat.
This update won’t be launching in the US until December 15th. Nelson points out that the apps will appear on the dashboard on the magical, mid-December date.
Good thing, too. We need the extra time to teach our children when to use hashtags and when to post death threats via social media. These are important lessons in the information age. #thingsuteachkids
