Yeah, I'd much prefer a glass of Tennessee whiskey, or maybe a nice scotch, with a bitlbee chaser.
I used xfire because someone dragged me onto it. When I realized there was crappy Mac support, which is where I play my games anyway, I didn't care much that bitlbee doesn't support it when I moved to that. It's a neat idea, but I'm kinda 'meh' about it when I've got a couple dozen other IM screen names to keep track of already.
