I was over at the Halo 3 launch party at Microsoft’s Silicon Valley campus and ran into Dan Fernandez, lead product manager for Visual Studio, demonstrating Popfly. It’s an alpha version of an easy-to-use mashup platform that allows consumers to easily create web services with multiple data sources, and embed them in their Web sites. These widgets can also be easiily shared amongst users. It is Microsoft’s first application of its Silverlight technology.

Something like Popfly sounds interesting, though it seems there’s going to be plenty of competition in the mashup area.
The bigger issue for me is simply Microsoft. I’ve had my personal blog on Spaces for over two years, and have watched Spaces have more and more problems every year!
Maybe partly it’s because I use a Mac, but this is such a simple blogging site that I can’t understand why Microsoft doesn’t get it right.
I’m about to give up on Spaces and move to Wordpress.com or something, so why should I even bother to try out another MS tool?
