(Updated, April 28, 2009): This update is now complete for users worldwide.

As mentioned in the blog post from Tuesday, we’ve now completed rollout of an update that includes more web activities and more partners for importing contacts. An easy way to check to see if you’ve got the latest release is to go to http://profile.live.com/WebActivities/. If you see about a dozen web activities, you’re not there yet; but if you see about 30 web activities, then you’ve got the update.

If you use any of the listed websites, think about adding them to your profile. Any new stuff you do on the sites you add (like a song you choose on Last.fm, photos you post on Smugmug, or a status update you make on Facebook), will go into “What’s new with you” on your Windows Live profile. Depending on whom you choose to share your web activities with, these “What’s new” items may also show for people in your network in Messenger, on http://home.live.com/, on Hotmail Today, and when someone using Windows Live Hotmail sends you an e-mail.

 Updates for my new activities show up in “What’s new”

Also with this release, now you can import contacts to Windows Live from Facebook, Hi5, LinkedIn, MySpace, and Tagged (a full list of all feed partners and contact partners is posted here). Start importing new contacts at http://profile.live.com/connect/.

And here are a few other recent improvements that you may notice:

• RSS feeds are now easier to find for blogs and lists.
• You’ll start to notice improved results when searching for people on Windows Live from the Windows Live Home or People pages.
• On Windows Live Home, you can now update your personal message inline, without going to a separate message editing page.

There are more screenshots and videos in the blog post from Tuesday. You can also check back here on the Windows Live team blog over the next few days as more folks from the team add blog posts about the features they’ve worked on.

Thanks—

Rob
