Windows Live Expo Buddy Alerts

Mon, 02 Jul 2007 20:10:15 GMT

The Windows Live Expo and Windows Live Alerts teams have teamed up and launched a new feature that allows you to post a listing and automatically opt-in your Messenger buddies to be notified with an desktop alert (sample below) indicating that you have posted something for sale on Expo.

We have been watching this feature and have blown away with the response. The click thru rates for buddies wanted to see what their friend has just posted is amazing.

To give it a whirl, simply go to: http://expo.live.com (create a profile if you don't have one) and post an item. Try it out it is addictive.

Triforce - From the site FAQ:

Q. Is any member of The Triforce a current videogaming world champion?
A. (simon) Great question! Yes, I am: at Sensible Soccer. The official - and inaugural - World Cup was held only once, back in 1994. I won it. It has never been held again, which makes me, Simon, the current World Champion. Ste can hold his own at Dancing Stage Whatever Edition. And David likes Army Men.
