I was watching the registration numbers today... things were pretty slow until a few hours ago... it jumped over 700 people in a few hours... why? Looks like MajorNelson threw up a link after Steve (aka FattyChubs) sent a heads up!
It's creepy and curious...all at the same time. XboxVoice.com give your Xbox 360 the ability to blog all by itself. In other words, you enter your gamertag at the site, and based on what you do on Xbox Live (games played etc) Xbox360voice will automatically create a blog for your Xbox 360. Each day your Xbox 360 will blog an entry…even if you don’t game. I told you, it’s kinda scary huh? You can even subscribe to an RSS feed of your Xbox’s blog…or anyone else's Xbox that signed up for the service. Gives a new meaning to the term stalker, huh?
So.. to all you visiting from there... Welcome! Hopefully the massive influx of new users won't kill the import process tonight!!
I think I will need to make an FAQ section. After looking in the MN comments, someone asked the inevitable question:
Question: "Why do I have to wait two days to get an entry?"
Answer: The blog does a difference on each entry to know what changed. We can't do a difference on the first day... and if you input the first day it will say you played every game you own and completed all the achievements you have at the moment... not a very constructive entry... So it has to be two days of data imported for your gamertag. It will always be this way unless MIcrosoft makes a temporal version of their XML data feed... but if they did that, you probably wouldn't need 360voice!
Alright I have to go work through my email box... lots of questions/comments starting to flood in! Cheers!
I can here thanks to Major Nelson's blog and I am simply enjoying the idea a lot!
You guys are awesome!!!!
*looks forward her blogs*

Hi.
Yes, I think a FAQ would be great as I was wondering how long it takes to kick in.
Luckily I thought to browse your blog archives but I imagine you must get lots of email from people asking.
Great idea, the first time I came across one I thought it was the user writing a blog from his 360s point of view and told friends how amusing he/she was.
More recently realised my mistake and have signed up for my own.
regards
R.
