Get Your Ducks in a Row and Express Yourself

"Popfly is the fun, easy way to build and share mashups, gadgets, Web pages, and applications. Popfly consists of two parts:

Popfly Creator is a set of online visual tools for building Web pages and mashups.
Popfly Space is an online community of creators where you can host, share, rate, comment and even remix creations from other Popfly users. "

It's all built using Silverlight so its a great little web experience - It kind of reminded me of a web version of iBloks.

Check out the Popfly Screencast for a quick 15 min overview.

WPF/E Gets a Name ... That looks like a Code Name

What do you get if you give WPF/E a sexy new name and a sexy new logo (So so pretty!)? .... You get Microsoft Silverlight

"Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web."

Check out Tim Sneath's blog entry for a nice top ten list of reasons why you might want to use Silverlight (aside from the cool name and logo). I wonder if his number 10 reason is the "sneak peek" Scott Guthrie mentioned during his channel 9 interview?

There are just not enough hours in the day to check out all of the amazing new stuff coming for developers ... or to reel off the puns that immediately spring to mind ... Go towards the light, Have you seen the light?, there is a silver lining, this will really light up your web experience.... Oh what fun times are ahead!
