After its US release a while back, Expo has finally launched in limited beta at http://expo.live.co.uk/ today. Windows Live Expo is Microsoft's online classifieds service, providing users with a free way to advertise items they want to sell, or services they are offering.

Key features include:

• Keep your dealings within a trusted network like your MSN Messenger Buddies, friends or co-workers; or open them up to anyone
• Find listings just in your area, nationwide or anywhere in between
• Add your listings to your MSN Space with one easy click
• Get detailed maps and directions for things like garage sales, homes for sale or concerts
• Communicate with people via MSN Messenger right from Expo’s site

If you haven't already got an invite, you can sign up for one here.
