Windows Live Expo: no bulk uploads

I’m always looking for new places to syndicate auto listings, and people like me are currently unwelcome at Windows Live Expo.

Microsoft’s free classified service launched earlier this year, but you won’t find many dealer listings with a search. This service does not support data feed bulk uploads.

Windows Live Expo currently does not support bulk uploads of listings. We are not currently seeking to enable bulk uploads because we want the marketplace to grow organically in its early stages. In the future if we do decide to enable bulk-upload facilities, we will publicly announce the feature with all the relevant details necessary for you to use this feature.

Want to list an item? Start typing. This policy reminds me of craigslist’s “we don’t support businesses, we only tolerate them” business model. These days, everyone is trying to build their own passionate user base by copying craigslist.
