Reminder: Update your Friends of Friends setting

Tomorrow’s dashboard update will bring the ‘Friends of Friends’ feature to your Xbox 360’s friends list. This is a friendly reminder that if want to change the default settings of ‘Everyone’ (where anyone can see who is on your Xbox LIVE Friends list) then please take this time to visit Xbox.com to change the setting. If you want to keep the default, then you can just sit back and relax and wait for the update to hit tomorrow morning. After the update, you can change this setting as needed in your console or on Xbox.com.
