Microsoft Popfly

27Jul07

Microsoft Popfly is a mashup creation tool that launched a few months ago, but is still in private alpha. It’s similar in concept to Yahoo! Pipes, but the similarity ends right there. The user interface is built in Silverlight and its got a full alpha-blended, multimedia, 3-D thing going for it.

Apparently you can drag & drop and build your own custom site and embed mashups in them. It even allows you to share your Visual Studio Express projects with others directly from within the IDE. How cool is that?!

OK OK, so its not very cool. Amongst all the social aspects they could think of (and they have a few in here already), they come up with sharing VS Express projects? Hmm… makes you wonder about what it takes to get a project funded in Microsoft. :-)

Check out the overview video on the Popfly site (warning: requires Silverlight) and a recent video interview with the Popfly project lead.
