The beta for Steam's improved matchmaking and (FINALLY!) improved buddy list/friends function is now live!

Steamspace anyone? It's like a free Windows Live/Xbox Live. With the new friends you can voice-chat out of game, there are facebookish groups you can join, schedule events etc. A very nice step-up for the Steam UI, and best of all it's free. You can also add non-Steam games to Steam and use all these functions inside ANY game.
You can set up a profile at the link I posted, and to update your Steam client go to Settings and choose participate in Steam Community Beta. Someone start a Massassi group!
This has pretty cool potential; it's really easy to schedule something like a NWN campaign or JK game through Steam, and the chatroom is more accessible than IRC.
