live site issues

live.com has been encountering some issues as of late thursday for some of our users. the issues have been mainly concerning feeds and gadgets such as weather or stocks not rendering. you may have seen 'oops, we seem to be having a problem' a lot. we use live.com everyday and definitely feel your pain.
 
we recently had an update to our services layer that caused some funkiness. we think we have addressed the problem, but if you're still encountering the issue please email us at 'livefb@microsoft.com' or post a comment and we'll look into it asap.
 
thanks for your patience,
