TechCrunch heeft een schermafbeelding en beschrijving van de dienst die door het leven zal gaan als Expo. Expo is op zijn beurt weer onderdeel van Windows Live.

Denk aan een webversie van Messenger (inclusief telefonie) die Outlook en Hotmail combineert en waar mogelijk premium versies van software en diensten plugt. Live is Microsofts antwoord op de webdiensten van concurrenten AOL, Google en Yahoo. [...]</description>

		<description>The social element and &quot;trusted groups&quot; concept is definitely a direction that I wanted to take BlockRocker in - based not on MS Fremont/Expo, but on their much earlier social-networking predeccessor, FreeCycle.

If you&#039;re familiar with Freecycle, you&#039;ll know that its a fragmented, decentralized, weirdly political means of creating local groups within which free goods are recycled. Its been my intention from the get go to offer group building capability of this type on BR, for both disenfranchised freecyclers, and anyone else that wants to create a group of any kind. Tagging, the &quot;Show Free Only&quot; search option, and the customized RSS feeds are the first components. MS has twigged to the appeal of this model too, and I&#039;m really looking forward to seeing how they implement.</description>
