What's next, Live Favorites? Hasn't been updated since launch either.

At least Expo deserved to crash. The service was cruddy, offered nothing better than the competition, and the UI was outdated. Good riddance. Oh, and calling it "Expo" instead of something simple like "Classifieds" is another strike. I wonder who manages such crud like this.

All this does is give Windows Live more bad publicity.

Not surprised really. MS is really good about releasing "Me Too" products then forgetting about them with no updates and no promotion. Then wonder why they haven't been successful. I'm expecting a lot of Live Services to go the way of the Dodo.

Sad really.

I totally agree with Foaf, Plus they need to update WLCalendar (it's been over 6 month since the beta release) and release a mobile version of Calendar they also need to update My.live.com

BTW my.live.com with MSN TV Listing Gadget works for the UK, FYI

It's ironic how Expo shuts on the same day that I read eBay is in trouble:

I never really used Expo, as I never found UK items, and then never looked again.

It's good that MS is sorting the wheat from the chaff though, and hopefully they can focus more on improving their useful products

(NB to MS: please update live.com!)
