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.
