MacLive is an Open Source utility to keep track of your Xbox Live friends on your Mac. You can set it to let you know when your friends log on via a Growl notification (so you can get fragging as soon as a buddy shows up online). Unfortunately, according this review MacLive is still a little rough around the edges, as the add a friend feature is apparently broken and there isn't yet a way to send messages, manage the friends list, etc.Nonetheless, this is a great idea, particularly if the developer James Howard continues to improve it. MacLive is a free download at Google Code.
Thanks Peter!

Mindquirk's version looks more promising, but it hasn't been updated for ages. They've shown us a small little pic of it.
But hey, open-source ftw?

yuck. I appreciate the effort, but that's the worst interface ever. Huge fonts that are not adjustable, and very difficult to figure out where the online friends stop and the offline friends start. pretty much unusable.
I'll stick with my live.xbox.com page in my bookmark bar.
