Social networking services Facebook and Twitter will be available to access through your Xbox 360 on November 17th according to the Xbox website.

Revealed via an advertisement on the UK version of the site, the deadly social networking duo looks set to be joined by Last FM and Skyplayer which are scheduled to arrive in ‘Autumn 2009’

The Xbox dashboard update will make the new services available to Xbox Live Gold members, and will incorporate new features to smooth over the transition from desktop to console.

Facebook will include ‘Friend Linker’ which will let you invite Facebook pals to play over Xbox Live, and let you save game screenshots which can be sent to your fellow Facebookers. On the Twitter front, you'll be able to display your Xbox avatar as you tweet.

Skyplayer which we reported was on its way to the Xbox, will also be available and will function much like the desktop version enabling you to access a library of movies and live sporting action, without the need to be a Sky subscriber.
 

Last FM will also enter the Xbox 360 fray, but according to the chaps over at Joystiq, who have managed to get an early look at it, you’ll not be able to do anything else on the console while listening to the internet radio station.
 

The beta services are likely to be available during the end of October, where you can make your own judgement on the new services.
