from the release
:"Our community has given us great direction on the ways they want to see Steam evolve," said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve. "Adding these new community features to make it easier to connect with other gamers is something we've wanted to see on Steam for a long time and this latest update is just the start. We've got a long list of items that we're working on to make it easier for gamers to connect and play games on Steam."

wth...i just want our games to run smoothly.
Does this mean X-fire will die out? x-fire just eats so much of my systems resources i turn it on to look for a game, then turn it off once i play.

I wished they would fix half the bugs in the system instead of adding more things to cause more bugs which they have done. This new add on causes less fps on the games. I also wished they would fix the fake orb before I die , geesh lol.

I think they did ok on the steam community so far, and it has pretty much replaced xfire for me -- except I can't send files through STEAM yet.
