Raptr - gaming social network

I used to use something called "XboxTweet", which would automatically post to Twitter when I unlocked Achievements on the 360. It died a while back though, a victim of its own success.

There's also something on Facebook which does a similar thing, albeit via manual updates: Xbox Live Gamercard.

Looking for something to replace XboxTweet, I found "Raptr", which will also post to Facebook too.

Raptr will track your 360 Achievements & PSN Trophies, post them to Twitter/FB, & display it all together on one profile page along with your games. It also tracks Steam achievements (or whatever they are), plus has an instant messaging client which brings together your XBL/PSN/PC lists in one app, along with IM services.

Anyone use it? If so, befriend me!

Just made an account using my XBL/PSN name. I added you on it. It looks interesting.

Gotcha!

I think it's quite good. The only thing about it which annoys me is that sometimes the tracking is delayed. I unlocked 13 Achievements on Reach on Sunday & they're not on it yet. Normally they're up within a couple of hours.

For some reason it's not letting me add my PSN to the client, keeps giving me a connection error...

**Matt D** · 21-09-2010, 01:22

Hmm. I didn't have that. May be PSN itself, perhaps. I'd just try again later.

I'll just try it again tomorrow cause I know my details are correct cause I use them all the time on the PSN website.

Ah, found out what was wrong. I just had to change a folder name so that the client would update. It works now, just not showing my PSN friends list.

You can still use the website for XBL tracking, even though you can't use the Client. There's also an iPhone App, for accessing Raptr/XBL/PSN friend lists.

How long does it take to update when you get achievements? It'll pick up that I'm playing a game but I got 2 achievements on Test Drive Unlimited earlier and it's not updated. Also, although I can log on to my PSN account on the client, my friends list isn't showing up...

**Matt D** · 22-09-2010, 02:13

Normally they show up very quickly, but as I mentioned before sometimes it seems to be delayed/screwed. I'm still missing the ones from my Reach session on Sunday.

There's a thread in the Help forum there for posting about sync issues & missing Achievements.
