			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems WoW isn&#8217;t immune to the Web 2.5 era of technology. Now, people can <a href="http://gigaom.com/2009/07/06/wow-players-the-latest-to-get-location-based-service/" target="_blank">know where you are</a> and you can give them the <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/04/twitter-world-of-warcrafttweetcraft/" target="_blank">blow-by-blow as you&#8217;re raiding</a>.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;m not so sure about the idea of location-based services the Twitter client was overdue. After all, there&#8217;s already <a href="http://www.wimaddon.com/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">IM integration</a> so why not drop notes into Twitter or Facebook (FaceWoW? WoWBook?)?</p>
<p>The thing is&#8230;how <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">relevant</span> useful is this all going to be? Sure, the Twitpic integration is probably the best feature (though you&#8217;d think they&#8217;d have hidden the Tweetcraft window BEFORE generating the screenshot) but anything else? Outside of staying in contact with people instead of diving into WoW and disappearing for hours, is there a purpose to it? After all, if you&#8217;re raiding, you&#8217;re more than likely going to be with the main group of people you hang out with while in WoW&#8230;in other words, the people who care about the crazy purple item that just dropped.</p>
<p>Still, I guess the game industry and especially the MMOG sub-industry has to keep up with the social side of Web 2.x. I&#8217;m still waiting for the<a href="http://www.neurosky.com/" target="_blank"> NeuroSky thing</a> to go somewhere so I can play without a keyboard&#8230;</p>
