Let the Services Flow

Microsoft has done a great job with its Xbox Live services, namely with the UFC channel, HBO Go and Netflix.  But what’s next on the board?  How about more creative uses of the Kinect and Xbox Live channels, letting people open up their own social channels?  Or, for that matter, providing community services that can make up for the recent cancellation of the Inside Xbox channel?  After all, Xbox Live has a huge community behind it, with millions of users, both hardcore and casual, taking part and able to provide advice and gameplay tips.  For that matter, how about something that lends to the Ambassador side of things — letting them guide new users through their paces across the service and show newcomers what they’re in for?  The possibilities are open wide.  And for that matter, more sports services — like the NFL Network — would be welcome, as well.
