Right, I get that's not what Blur does. The implementation that they have going on is a nice service, no complaints there. That outta the way…are you suggesting that MS/Sony might not be happy with you receiving messages from an outside source in game?

Looking forward to the MP Beta. Cheers.

True, it might be doable if everybody who owns a bit of the tech agrees on the same idea. But it's not actually happening here. :)

I am not sure about that one — the Twitter functionality will be live for the beta that starts on March 8, so you may be able to check for yourself. You're right, it will be inconvenient as hell if someone didn't think that far ahead. Hell, if they didn't, that's good feedback from the beta…

This might not be undoable. If the game has a built in twitter client that only displays challenge tweets directed to your user name, then you could have cross platform challenges just directly though the game rather than the console software.

All I really ask out of this functionality is for the interface to count your characters as you type. Otherwise it'll be just as cumbersome as tweeting from the 360 dashboard.
