XfireTM is a free tool that
automatically keeps track of when and where gamers are playing PC games
online and lets their friends join them easily. It works regardless of
game type, server browser, or gaming service that a player is using.
Xfire eliminates the hassles of running multiple programs like IRC,
instant messengers, or in-game friends lists to keep track of when and
where a gamer's friends are playing. It supports the best and the
latest online PC games including server and non-server-based First
Person Shooters, Real Time Strategy, and Role Playing Games. Xfire HQ
is located in Menlo Park, California.
Xfire combines instant messaging, a server browser, peer-to-peer file downloads, in-game messaging, screenshot and video capture and one of the most active gaming communities in the world into a small, simple package. Best of all, it's free!
In April of 2006, Xfire was acquired by Viacom. Viacom is one of the
