Rupture: Combination Twitter and Social Network for Gamers

From Rupture.com:

Rupture is an online destination connecting gamers around the world, allowing them to share gaming experiences, events, challenges and achievements. Our system automatically tracks information about what you do in games, and presents it in a way that makes it easy for your friends to check out.


Quick Information

Rupture builds a profile for you based on your game play. It’s not like other profiles, however. We automatically pull information from many video games. Did you beat the Drums Tour in Rock Band on Expert? All your friends will know.

Details

We don’t play just one game. Rupture creates a central location your friends can use to keep track of what you’re playing. Rupture also makes it easy for you to track your friends. With one click you can subscribe to any Rupture user. From your dashboard, we’ll keep you up to date with all their latest data.

Features


Now that you’re watching all of your friends, it’s never been easier to do a little trash talking. Inline commenting allows you to post a quick note about any event. Now when your pal loses 100 points of arena rating in World of Warcraft, you can let them know how funny that is!

Future


That’s just the beginning. Rupture is designed to be game agnostic, and we’re constantly creating new partnerships to expand the games we track. Our goal: all games, all platforms.

Who We Are


Rupture is a startup based in San Francisco founded by Shawn Fanning and Jonathan Baudanza.

So far it supports Xbox Live, World of Warcraft and Warhammer Online.

I've just started using it again so the only info I have on it is through Xbox Live.

Below is a sample page from someone elses page:

Thwarting a Potential Drama Attack 

This kind of sounds like what Xfire was dabbling in.

"Rupture"? Did someone come up with the name after a spleen diagnosis?

What do you expect from a guy (Shawn Fanning) who started a service called Napster?
