Looks like Steam is adding an in-game web browser to their service as well. It is in Beta now so you need to opt-in for the Beta.

From Steampowered Forums:

"There's a new Steam Beta client available. To access the Beta, go to File -> Settings, and on the Account tab will be a drop down. Select Steam Client Candidate, and then allow Steam to restart itself. Here are the specific changes:

- Updated game overlay web browser to support generic web browsing, including web sites that use flash
- Fixed games list scrolling behavior with pageup/pagedown and mouse wheel
- Many back-end Steamworks changes in preparation for a Steamworks SDK update"

Seems pretty sweet to me, something to do while you wait for other L4D people to join.

For those of you that add WoW to your games list on list and launch from there, let me know if it works with that as well.

couldnt hurt to try it, could always just not use it
If anything, it would lag your PC not ur game so you can always upgrade the PC as well LOL
