Is LiveLabs Thumbtack Dead?

I threw this out on Twitter the other day, and maybe I'm the only person that has been using it because I didn't get any response :(

I first posted to Live Labs Customer care about not being able to generate a new link a month ago and haven't gotten any response. Now today I can't seem to log into Customer Care for ThumbTack.

The Thumbtack site is just a blank page... guess shame on me for not pulling my links out of that when it started acting hinky a month ago, but the promo page is still advertising it as if it's viable.

I can't find any way to contact them, so I'm throwing this blog post out in case anyone that has some knowledge can assist.

And before you send email, yeah, OneNote would be my choice, or one of any of the 3rd-party tools out there... but I can't install ANYTHING on this machine at work, and can't get to a lot via the web. The only choice I had for retaining information between machines was Thumbtack.

Dave,
I have used Live SkyDrive to store stuff and its available behind any kind of corp firewall, etc. Recently I saw that they have enabled Office Live Web there, so you should be able to do spreadsheets, Word docs, Excel and even OneNote.

You're not alone. A mate and I use it to share a list of frequently used commands and the like and we can't get in anymore either.
I've send an enquiry to Microsoft just now. Hope they have a good answer.

I contacted 3 different support areas within MS and it seemed nobody could help. I basically gave up but then tried logging in again today and what-do-you-know, it's back up.
I'm busy copying all my information out now in case it goes bye-bye again.
