STEAM gone down?

Was playing Total War online and it bombed out... now cannot connect to the online servers as TW thinks STEAM is not running?

Also, my friends list is not working.

A server update is planned for approximately 1600 PDT on Wednesday March 11 (updated: previously Tuesday March 10). There will be some database maintenance at server update time; chat and game lobbies for be disrupted during the maintenance. Expected downtime is less than half an hour.

Thanks for the link.

Surely a mass PM to all on STEAM throughout the day would be possible... no?

TO be fair, I dont check the STEAM "Downtime Announcements" thread on a daily basis.
