I thought this might be of interest to people heavily invested in steam.

You have to sign up to the group and wait for an invite e-mail to the beta program before you can start. I think i'm probably number 60,000 in the queue, so I won't be joining any time soon unless anyone here has spare invites.
Steam will release a new beta feature within its service called Steam Trading Cards according to an announcement from the company. The trading cards integrate with a handful of Valve titles at launch, and players that collect the cards will be able to use them to earn coupons as well as profile backgrounds and other items to augment their Steam experience.
The launch titles that will generate trading cards to collect include Don't Starve, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2 and Half-Life 2. When players get a particular set of cards they can craft them into a game badge to get “marketable items” like emoticons, profile backgrounds, and coupons for things like game discounts or DLC. The badges can then be upgraded, or “leveled up,” by collecting the same set again.
The info page states that half of any card set is dropped during game play while the other half is “earned through collecting prowess.” Badges contribute to a player’s “Steam Level,” and as that number rises players get account-bound items including extra friend list slots.
Interested parties can join the beta now via the Steam Trading Cards Group. Valve states that the trading card feature will slowly roll out to other titles over the coming months.
