Following an invite I just noticed, I signed up to playfire.com (seems
to monitor cross-platform gaming and link/compare with friends -for
whatever reason).

Anyway, after doing so I see a few messages _to_ playfire asking "how do
I delete my account from playfire -it's slowing down my getting onto
xboxlive every time!"

....So does it slow things down? Have I joined a kind of virus cult
social network that I can't get off?

Does anyone here actually use it for anything worthwhile?
It looks like it could maybe be handy enough to see what games friends
have on different platforms, but... is it?

-Kevin.

I use raptr (as do a few others on here) for what seems to be the same
thing, it's had no adverse effect on anything.

Although it may be worth while comparing raptr's facebook whoring
with the new stuff in the dash. Wouldn't do to spam social media sites
with duplicate CHEEVO GET! messages..

And speaking of which - it was talking about the ability to post video
to facebook. Is this 'share video that has appears in the dash' or the
much more wishful-thinking 'share video you've recorded in game'?

Troolerlooper sent me a spam about this yesterday on Live. Is it legit, or
another Raptr-style Xbox Live details harvester?

Aside from when they got hacked and people had their Live accounts
hijacked, of course

I got an invite in my messages the other just another social site to sign up
to so I deleted it.

That might hit legal problems in the US so I doubt they'd facilitate that.

Apologies all. I got an invite from someone on my friends list and
signed up to see what it was all about, didn't realise it would do a
group spam!
