Popfly is a tool and social network that provides a fun and easy way to build and share mash-ups, gadgets, Silverlight experiences, and Web pages using pre-built “Blocks” that connect to online services. Consisting of two parts:
· Popfly Creator - a set of online visual tools for building Web pages and mashups
· Popfly Space - an online community of creators where you can host, share, rate, comment and even remix creations from other Popfly users.
Popfly not only provides easy ways to build your first mash-up in minutes and a social community to share your creations, but also supports publishing creations to Windows Live Spaces, Typepad, any blog engine that supports the MetaWeblog API, and any site that supports iframes.
