Popfly – Mashup creation tool from Microsoft

Microsoft Popfly - Mashups creation tool

I read some of the coverage around the blogesphere about Popfly, Microsoft latest innovation, and I am anxious to get the invitation email and start playing with it.

I felt the same when Yahoo Pipes came out but after playing with it for a while my enthusiasm ended since the capabilities were very limited and allowed creation of a limited types of mashups.

Popfly might turn to be different and big. Here’s why?

  • The design tool looks amazing
  • It could span a large social network for mashupers
  • A site hosted on a .ms tld – not something you’d expect from “Microsoft”…
  • Ducks

Here’s one example of a mashup created using Popfly.

BTW, you need to install Silverlight before accessing the page.
