Are you pop flying?
Another cool concept from Microsoft based on silevlight which enables users RSD (Rapid Site Development) by combining and connecting existing blocks.
The big news today is about Popfly, our new mashup-creation tool. Nik at TechCrunch thinks it's cool, and says "Seeing applications like Popfly coming out of Microsoft is something that I couldn’t have imagined all too long ago". It is pretty awesome, check out the interview Rory did with the Popfly team, and also watch the demos.
