Steam Screenshots!

Taking in-game screenshots is something that is second nature when it comes to gaming on the Personal Computer. It mostly involves pressing "Print Screen" on the keyboard and most games would even save the captured images in the appropriate folder. Today, Valve is taking things a step further by introducing a screenshot capture feature for the Steam client. You can now take screenshots of any games that are played via Steam and those pictures can then be posted on your profile page. A generous 1GB worth of online storage is made available to each user. Whenever you take a screenshot in-game, a pop-up notification will show up at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. You can choose to write captions for the pictures and others can visit your page and make comments on them. There is a visibility setting available so that you can choose to make the pictures viewable only to your friends or yourself if you are feeling shy. You can even share the images to other social networking services like Facebook and Twitter with ease. The posted screenshots automatically include the title of the games that they derived from as well as the date and time of when they were captured. This new feature further ensures that Steam is the best place to play games on the PC (and Mac). All PC games should be released here.

Taking in-game screenshots is a lot more fun and convenient now.
