Xfire surpasses ten million registered users

With a name like Xfire, which sounds like some crazy new designer drug, you'd think that the announcement that it had over 10 million users would be cause for panic. Thankfully, Xfire is just an excellent game tracker and inter-game messenger, so the 10 million registered users is a good thing! We swear we aren't lying, officer!

For those who haven't used Xfire, it's a nice little IM client that allows you to message and check what your friends are playing, all within your own game. It also tracks stats such as time spent playing a particular game, as well as things like character names. If you've used Steam since the update that added the Community feature, you'll know exactly how it works. Unlike Steam, it also allows you to share sweet images and videos with your gaming buddies. All in all, a nice service that has just hit a major milestone. Go Team Xfire!
