what is it?
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

There probably isn't any meaning in life. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive. Like how you found that flower. Like how I found you.

Buttons aren't toys.

In a nutshell... Its an instant messaging program designed for gaming. You have your normal friends list (and friends of friends list), and next to their name, theres a logo showing which game they are playing.. If you click on them to send them a message, it says what game, what server, what teamspeak/ventrilo they are in, etc. Its really useful. You can connect directly to their game just from hitting 'Connect' in your chat box.

Another great thing is if you are playing a game that takes up the whole screen and you get an XFire message, you can just hit a certain button and the chat window will pop up over your game, so you dont have to minimize.. then you type your message, hit the button to return to the game, and keep playing..

There are various other things like a built in download manager, a profile that says how many hours of what game youve played in the past week and your lifetime, etc.

Its really cool and useful, i suggest you all get it.

I had it once upon a time but I only had one person on my list and I lost touch with him over time.
