Xfire

Xfire is a very useful tool for people that wish to combine their gaming experience with chatting. Xfire is a Instant Messenger service which feature, the ability to see if a friend is on a server of a supported game at the moment, if yes the player can join up on the same server with the friend without having to search for the server or having to start the game. Xfire currently supports more then 700 games and they are becoming more and more, further the user has the ability regularly chat over Xfire with friends that are available at that moment. Xfire can also memorize your favorite servers and the player can then check up on the server without having to start the game, and thus allowing the player to browse through several servers that can be for several games in order to find the right one.

I added the link of the Xfire website to the Link list for websites of note.
