			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just tried out the new <a href="http://www.gizmoz.com">Gizmoz</a> that was <a href="http://mashable.com/2007/05/30/gizmoz/">re-launched</a> today with a nice pinky skin and a new logo. Their technology is pretty cool and the animated avatars that you can create &amp; share are sweet.</p>
<p>It was a bit difficult to find a front face photo that meets their <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaymeydad/524088428/">strict guidelines</a> and I wonder if this might harm conversion rates&#8230;on the other hand it could create some business to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_identification">passport photos</a>&#8216; photographers (also known in Hebrew as ???? ???).</p>
<p>Anyway, nice job <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/eldadbentora">Eldad</a>.</p>

<p>I read some of the coverage around the blogesphere about <a href="http://www.popfly.ms/Overview/"><strong>Popfly</strong></a>, Microsoft latest innovation, and I am anxious to get the invitation email and start playing with it.</p>
<p>I felt the same when <a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/">Yahoo Pipes</a> 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.</p>
<p>Popfly might turn to be different and big. Here&#8217;s why?</p>
<ul>
<li>The <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/designsurface.png">design tool</a> looks amazing
<li>It could span a large social network for mashupers
<li>A site hosted on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ms">.ms tld</a> &#8211; not something you&#8217;d expect from &#8220;Microsoft&#8221;&#8230;
<li><a href="http://www.popfly.ms/Overview/images/backgrounds/expressyourself.jpg">Ducks</a> </li>
</ul>
<p>Here&#8217;s one <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/johnmont/archive/2007/05/18/welcome-to-popfly.aspx">example</a> of a mashup created using Popfly.</p>
<p>BTW, you need to install <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/default01.aspx">Silverlight</a> before accessing the page.</p>
