Windows Live Expo



I have received an e-mail about this site, this morning. Looks like Microsoft's answer to eBay.

Accounts are only invite only at the moment, as it's only in Beta.

The address for the site is: http://expo.live.co.uk/

The things listed on there look a bit random at the moment, but I'm sure it will settle down, after people figure what each thing does.

It also seems to be more on the idea of finding items which are close to you rather than say posting an item.

Plus it's a Microsoft site that works in Opera!

Note 1: MSN Video (codename “Warhol”) is an MSN service and not a Windows Live service.
Note 2: Some haven’t made the list because they’re not exactly services - Windows Live Help for example and SDK’s aren’t really services. Also, some “services” merged into the larger umbrella service, such as Windows Live Near Me Search was absorbed by Windows Live Local.
Note 3: Xbox Live and Office Live aren’t actually Windows Live products, so they’re excluded from the list. They’re different teams, different way of thinking and they just generally don’t have anything to do with Windows Live.
