If you're the type of person who loves to watch (re:
stalk) their friends and Twitter just isn't doing it for you, then
check out the Raptr beta. This nifty social networking site focuses on gaming and will track your activity over a plethora of platforms and games such as Steam, Xbox Live,
Spore and of course
World of Warcraft. Now you can gloat about your blue "Pants of Sundering Sauce" even when you're out of the game! If you decide to install the Raptr client it will check on all your PC games and download new updates for them, which is wonderful as we love anything that makes updating our games easier.
With
the recent addition of Spore updates to the service, we're hoping that
Warhammer Online will
get some love from the folks at Raptr as well. How cool would it be if Raptr updated your page as you won Scenarios or captured an enemy stronghold?

Does this do anything aside from tell people what you're playing and when you played it...? The stuff you described is actually pretty cool, but I can't seem to find any profiles that share that info :(

Yeah, it's a pretty cool service, but is very clearly a beta. With a little more work is could be something great.

I am trying out the client now. It runs on adobe air, so its platform agnostic (or at least it can be, it runs mac or pc at the moment).
I am surprised that it actually detected all of the games (and expansions) I had installed. Including the built in Windows games that I never use.
I didn't even know that my UT3 install was out of date, but its downloading the patch for me now.
I can't comment on the social networking stuff or graphs yet as I have only just installed it, but it seems solid so far.

Hmm it looks a lot like Xfire, only expanded to the XBox and PS3. I'd give it a go if I had one of those systems I suppose...
