It looks like someone in Microsoft's Xbox Germany team dropped a clanger today in prematurely announcing plans to raise the Xbox Live friends list cap from a measly 100 to a mammoth 1000.

They also appeared to announce a new feature called the 'Finder' tab, which will apparently help you search for friends, presumably by parameters other than their Gamertag.

The slip was made in a now-deleted Facebook post. When put through Google, it read: "A lot of long-term change was desired by Xbox LIVE users the limit of 100 friends. With the update you can now up to 1,000 friends of your friends list. How many friends do you have? Not enough? Then you looking for new friends on the Finder tab!"

Neither of these features are apparently available in the preview version of the new upcoming dashboard, according to Joystiq, but it sounds like the final version released to the public will.
