Overwolf

The software company Overwolf is coming out with a nifty little in-game client that may just prove to be extremely useful, especially for those of you who go hard to the paint with social media.

OverwolfOverwolf looks to easily connect you to various forms of social media without forcing you to alt+tab out of the games you are playing.

With Overwolf you have access to facebook, twitter, skype, email, and even an internet browser, all while in-game.

"Publishers are looking for ways to ignite the viral potential of online games, but integration has been difficult, especially with all of the demands of operating live titles," said Uri Marchand, CEO of Overwolf. "We're offering a way to add this functionality with zero effort required on the publisher's side. We've been getting amazing feedback from gamers telling us they love Overwolf and it's a great way to engage friends and share their gaming life with their real lives, which has the effect of bringing more users into online games."

Now, it sounds good on paper but you really have to see it in action, excuse the "internet guy" narrating the video, he's obviously trying to appeal to you by using words like uber:
