Ever sat at your computer manually refreshing your Xbox Live friends list on xbox.com, just waiting for that special someone to come online? Sat waiting online for some interesting people to play with while declining all game invites from the losers you only keep on your list for emergencies? Your F5 key and sanity can be saved, however, with this nifty little utility for Windows.Called XBlist, it keeps track of your friends for you, with MSN-style in-your-face alerts when they come online and gamercard integration so you can see exactly when they last played and what they've achieved. With quick-links to the all-important xbox.com profile and Halo 2 stats page, it's everything you need from a friends list, although pretty hefty in terms of bandwidth and memory.

"hefty bandwidth usage" is debatable, given it'll download a 24KB file every 30 seconds (adjustable in the options). However, the memory usage charge is false, and I address it in my troubleshooting guide here: http://brh.numbera.com/software/xblist/troubleshooting/#memory
I'm glad people enjoy it though!
