Microsoft PopFly




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

1. Popfly Creator is a set of online visual tools for building Web pages and mashups. 2. Popfly Space is an online community of creators where you can host, share, rate, comment and even remix creations from other Popfly users."

"The hosted service, called Popfly and now in alpha testing, gives consumers a visual way to create a Web site or add features, such as mashups, to existing blogs or personal pages. Mashups are Web applications that combine content from more than one source.

Popfly includes a builder tool that allows people to create an application by dragging and dropping block icons onto a design page. These blocks represent tasks or services, such as a widget that displays photos in a slide show, with which a person can build."

"Extending application development to non-programmers, Microsoft on Friday plans to introduce a hosted tool called Popfly, for building Web pages and mashups.

Also part of the Popfly equation is a social networking component to connect people creating content. Microsoft envisions a YouTube-like platform for sharing of applications.

Previously known as Project Springfield, Popfly is «a tool for building Web pages, mashups, and gadgets and it's online,» said Dan Fernandez, lead product manager for non-professional tools at Microsoft. Popfly currently is in alpha release state, with the company not ready to commit to a general release date.

«Our goal with Popfly is to provide a totally new tool for people that have no programming experience whatsoever to be able to create their own distinctive, dynamic Web experiences,» Fernandez said."
