Xbox.com, Microsoft's official homepage for all things Live and 360, now allows gamers to add or remove friends without having to reach for a joypad. Found someone who seems to love the same games as you while browsing online profiles? Add them to your list of buddies there and then.
It seems like a minor upgrade, but it's an important one, allowing players to expand or manage their friend lists without leaving the online community itself, instead of having to swap gamertags with face-to-face friends or having to find good people through online play.
With Microsoft's upcoming USB camera and 360's capacity for online chat, this move allows Xbox.com to become even more of a meeting ground for people who want to hook up with others for a private natter.
