xFire is a gaming Instant Messenger that allows you to communicate while in a game with friends but it’s much more than that. xFire offers a full “instant” gamers solution to gaming time tracking, blogging, screenshots and video capture.

You can maintain your own blog however you may like. It’s not a full featured blog like WordPress but if your world revolves around gaming it’s sufficient or you can link to your external blog.

The game time tracking allows you to track how much time you play in every game that is supported by xFire (which is just about all mainstream games as well as many games dating back over the past decade).

Screenshots allow you to capture screenshots while playing and when you exit or minimize the game you have the option to upload them with a caption or delete them. Once uploaded you can browse your online library.

Capturing video is a more recent update but it will allow you to capture in-game videos and upload them after exiting or minimizing the game. One of the other features that’s still in beta is doing “Live” broadcasting of your in-game expreience.

There are options to adjust privacy as you see fit. Go check it out or download the client!
