Ever got tired of using MSN or any of the other standard chat programs? Ever got tired of not being able to chat with your friends in-game? Ever wanted to know what your friends are playing and more importantly WHERE they are playing so you can join them? Then what you need is Xfire!
Xfire is an instant messenger much like MSN or the other popular clients. The most noticable difference is its close connection to games. It lets you not only see what and where your friends are playing but lets you chat with them while they are playing! It can also record your gaming hours and show other people a lot of extra information such as your system specs or the guild your in etc.
