I like to think of Xbox Live as the nosey neighbour of the online world.  Many Xbox 360 gamers love nothing better than poking around in other people’s achievement lists, comparing their played games and points.  It’s something that unites us all, and has made our gaming experiences all the richer for it.

Some have taken the concept of Live and taken it to a different level - like 360voice.com.  As their tagline goes, “You and your Xbox 360 plays games together.  It blogs about you.  You don’t have to do anything!  Seriously… that is it.” But in fairness there’s a lot more to it than that.  The creators of the website - Trapper Markelz and Stephen Sopp - have worked extremely hard to ensure it’s packed with leaderboards, features, and a vibrant community.  It’s clearly a labour of love, and with any luck its popularity will continue to grow along with Live itself.

Trapper and Stephen kindly took time out of their (very!) busy schedules to chat with me about their work.  You can listen to the audio podcast by clicking on the image below.
