There are plenty of interesting alternatives to this service, and MS is seeming a bit behind. IBM has one for enterprise users called QEDWiki: http://services...bm.com/qedwiki/ which is a free service. They even have researchers at IBM working on how to best use mashups in enterprise: http://domino.r.../emu.index.html

There is a lot of interest in deploying easy to use mashups to non-developers.

Congrats to Popfly! We’re happy to work with them to lower the barrier for people to fulfill their web dreams. The Dapper block in Popfly lets you work with any site on the web.
Kodus John!

Think of Popfly as an IDE built using Silverlight using which you can create any type of mashup- both using Silverlight and without Silverlight.

Maybe TC should get peer edited; so many simple typos and misspellings. Instead of most of your comments being corrections, just let users suggest edits.

There’s your startup. That one’s for free.

Isn’t this — except the part about the presentation — really old news?

@Ric – regarding other frameworks, you can put pretty much any JS code you want inside Popfly. So if you copy paste the framework code when you write custom code in Popfly, it should ‘just work’. Popfly uses Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax internally so that is included by default.

@chunnibabu – that is the iframe tag’s height and width attributes you’re running into. We cant expand that ourselves from inside the iframe but you can change the attributes before you embed the iframe.

Popfly has been around here for quite a while (in Internet time).

Techcrunch already had a posting here:

Quite old!

Microsoft forgot the extra o in the name of this application – use your imagination as to where it should go.

Techcrunch writers need to spell check or review their articles before posting. I seem to be seeing more typos lately.

Sriram sir,

congrats for a job well done. pls have a maximize window option – scrollbars are looking ugly, let it scale and fit the window.

I love this. This will ultimately engulf google docs and other such ajax initiatives. With a full-fledged development environment like silverlight anything is a possible and can be done lot faster. MS will make sure silverlight is in everydesktop and ppl still trying to push ajax to its limits will be left far far behind. The future has been predicted. Amen.

Sriram,

I joined PopFly back in May, and was not impressed. However, upon review it seems your team has done a great job improving the interface! I am a Microsoft developer by day and and very excited about SilverLight (I own the #1 site on XAML) – however, I am also interested in OpenAjax – can you point to some resources on how does PopFly work with other frameworks?

Thanks
Ric

…MashupMania… “running on firefox only’s hardly an alternative to PopFly”…. which only runs on Windows only right? .
But point taken though, MashupMania might not be presented as alternative in the sense that you can’t do all the things you could do in PopFly with MashupMania, and vice-versa.

Btw, by default Popfly puts a Popfly logo & the link to Popfly site, if you try to embed the Popfly code in your site.

However, you can get rid of the Popfly logo etc by not using the embed code provided by Popfly & pointing directly to the “RunViewer.aspx” from Popfly.ms . Ffor instance (you would need to point to your pop-fly & the project name however) :

Regarding Popfly and Silverlight, I wanted to clarify something – the mashups you create using Popfly need not use Silverlight (they could be plain old HTML+JS).

Think of Popfly as an IDE built using Silverlight using which you can create any type of mashup- both using Silverlight and without Silverlight.

Regarding browser support, Popfly runs on Firefox 2.0+ and IE6.0+ on Windows and Mac.
