News from Microsoft Ireland's Developer & Platform Group
PCWorld has Popfly on its list of 25 most innovative products of the year. Yay! :)
The article is at http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,140663/article.html# and there’s a post from Soma at http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2007/12/28/a-great-way-to-begin-the-new-year.aspx.
It comes in at number 21 - here's what they had to say about it:
21. Microsoft Popfly
Innovation: Lets you use Microsoft's Silverlight platform to create Web mashups.
Benefit: Though Popfly is still in early beta, its operation is clearer and its display is more attractive than that of the similar Yahoo Pipes tool.
If you ever played with Legos as a kid, then you should be able to assemble a Web mashup in Microsoft's Popfly. No coding know-how needed--using Popfly is as simple as choosing content sources (such as pictures, video, or news feeds from various online sources) and connecting them to a display model (such as a video player, a dynamic box for text, or a game of whack-a-mole that pops up pictures, for instance). Voilà, you have your mashup. You can embed the resulting creation in a blog entry or Web page, or just share its URL so others can admire your work.
