Expo made the CBS Evening News last night in a segment called "Winning The Battle for Classifieds"

 

Check out a summary and clip here: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/26/eveningnews/main1753602.shtml

Our friends at Blockrocker.com just integrated with Expo listings to provide a cool mashup.  Check it out.

The first version of the Expo API went live this week.  The API gives developers read access to the Expo classifieds listings database.  All our listings are geo-tagged, so there are some cool posibilities for mashups with some of those mapping APIs.

 

The API docs are published on MSDN and you can find them here.  You can get started by signing up for an Application key at http://expo.live.com/myapikeys.aspx.

 

If you've got a slick working demo using our APIs, please let us know at expoapi@microsoft.com so we can link to it.  The nuttier and more creative, the better!  Also, make sure you post a link from this blog post.

 

Remember, this release is our first crack and exposes basic functionality - we're looking to impove it over the next few months.  Below are some of features that are on our to-do list.  Let us know what you think at expoapi@microsoft.com!
