Microsoft to challenge Facebook?

The problem with Facebook, and I know you’ll all agree, is that there just isn’t enough Microsoft in it. It lacks that special Microsoft touch: buggy releases, incomprehensible messaging systems, etc.

Wait, actually it does have those. Still, if you prefer the real thing, you can try Microsoft’s Dashboard Update on XBox Live, which provides a Facebook-esque social networking platform for XBox gamers.

Still, I don’t think Facebook has to worry just yet. Microsoft is going to collect a fairly dissimilar demographic with Dashboard, which launches on December 4. The minimum age to use the site is 13, and that combined with the XBox theme will ensure a younger crowd gets drawn to Dashboard.
