Windows Live Expo is a craiglist-style social listing service from Microsoft.

Expo is a dynamic social listing service that allows members to find and sell items, discover information, and meet other parties in their area – all for free! With Expo, you can browse and post listings to those you trust, like your buddies, co-workers, and fellow students, or, to all Expo visitors. In addition, you can map listings easily using MSN Virtual Earth, post a free listing in less than a minute with our easy-to-follow steps, and use instant messages to communicate quickly with other members.

The mapping feature in particular seems handy and the interface, while a bit slow, is fairly clean and easy to read. More on this in coming weeks.
