    I recently installed this gem of a program Raptr, never heard of it before until i went to update my razr mouse firmware. Suffice it to say i installed it and loving it so far. If anyone used xfire in the past this one replaces that it has most of the features xfire does, there is some features that it doesn't have but it makes up for it with the ability to be an all in one messenger AIM, ICQ, MSN, Raptr, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, etc. It not only tracks your pc stats, it can track steam acheivements, xbox stats, among others. If you are a long time xfire user it will even import your xfire stats.

    My question is does anyone else here use this program?

    If you would like to try it out go to http://www.raptr.com

    Oh my god that raptor is so cute ^^

    But all my friends and people in my clan use Xfire, so I don't think it'll see any use (until it becomes popular enough, at least)

    Edit: Actually, can I just use this in place of Xfire? What features does it lack? And is its IMming feature its main advantage over Xfire?

    Looks interesting, but I'm in love with Digsby.

    Looks interesting. I've been using Pidgin for an AIM/MSN joint client program. I'll give this a go.

    yes it can be used in place of xfire, it will import all your stats(can take a bit if you have a lot), you can add your xfire account to raptr and be allowed to talk with your friends there as normal, i'm not quite sure what it lacks as i was never a big fan of xfire. Somone that has xfire needs to give it a REAL shot and let you know.
