Currently Under Construction (hence why it is here), but feel free to modify it if you wish.

This will be a subheading under X Window System.

Idea: An advertising system from X.org for the new Compiz/Xgl. It allows users to show off how many hours they have wasted watching cubes spin.

Xfire is a marketing campaign launched by the X.org organization to spread word about the new edition of X Window System, codename 'Compiz'. The campaign allows users to signup and install a program that monitors their use of Compiz. In return, users can get a dynamically generated image that displays various stats on their use, which are often found in forum signatures.

This campaign has proven to be widely successful, and word of the procrastinating power of Compiz has spread rapidly around the Internet. Additionally, various education studies have reported significant increase interest in geometry.
