viacom..what the hell are they going to do with xfire?

dominating the youth market on the Internet

[quote:ac19a]iacom, owner of MTV Networks, Nickelodeon and the Paramount movie studios, said Xfire has 4 million registered members who use its instant messaging and social networking technologies to accompany their massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMPORGs)[/quote:ac19a]

it is another way to get in contact with kids besides TV since many gamers are children/teens.

flood it with more ad's, great nag:

I never use xfire anymore.

Xfire increases my ping by 10! Awesome!

xfire owns all your cocks.

I think not, my cock is still in my pants.

i really dont think Xfire will change at all
Its a good IM system i'll still use it

Just finished reading a piece in the wall street journal detailing a deal with microsoft with a company called Massive which puts ads in games..guess games are the new medium for consumer products.

i hope if viacom does buy it, they will improve xfire a lot more
