Hello world..
The Expo team is very proud to unveil the Windows Live Expo service today. Our public beta will cater to all users in the every location across the US.
Windows Live Expo Beta Now Available to U.S. Consumers
We’ve been watching our own Microsoft internal marketplace service for the past couple of years and were inspired by employee behaviors. Regardless of the transaction, we noticed that trust and convenience are the key factors to closing a deal, said Garry Wiseman, product unit manager for Windows Live Expo at Microsoft. What sets Windows Live Expo apart is that people can set their own search parameters for goods and services. They can define their own marketplace universe.

The Windows Live Expo beta includes the following marketplace features:
| • |
Integration with familiar Microsoft products. Windows Live Expo is integrated with MSN Messenger and Windows Live Local mapping, making it easy for customers to access, search for and locate the listings and services they are looking for. Eventually Windows Live Expo will be integrated with Windows Live Search, Windows Live Spaces and Live.com. |
| • |
Trusted connections. Windows Live Expo customers can choose to post items for sale or purchase among only their MSN Messenger Contact List and/or e-mail groups, adding a level of trust and familiarity. |
| • |
Integrated, advanced mapping. Products listed in Windows Live Expo are geo-tagged and fully integrated with Windows Live Local, which can help users map, for example, the location of a prospective new home to see if it really is a “waterfront property” like a listing may say. |
| • |
More control. Windows Live Expo offers advanced search methods, rather than a cookie-cutter approach to searches. When searching for an item, such as a home, customers can provide more than one keyword, homing in on other qualifying characteristics such as square footage, price range and location — regionally or across the United States. |
| • |
Free and easy setup. Customers can create a free, basic listing in fewer than four steps by employing an efficient user interface.
