Valve have
decided they're going to get into the social networking game:
Beginning in July, Steam users can set up their own personal Steam pages and profiles, create and join groups, schedule games with friends, review who they've played with, see how well everyone played, chat with groups, chat via voice, and more. These new community services and features can be used with all Steam games, which include new releases and classic titles from leading publishers and independent developers.
Valve are calling this the "largest extension to the Steam platform" since its release back in 2004, so they obviously consider it a pretty big deal.

You'd be surprised that there is already a messenger + myspace + MSN + 3D Virtual Chat.

I think someone said it best. "My Second Space" over at dig. Steam is just going with popular trends.
Not exactly the biggest revolution but might prove interesting.

PS: CS has turned 8 years old....I stopped playing a few years back but i'll always have good memories of the early beta days.
