Five Invitations to Popfly

May 25th, 2007 · 7 Comments

update: i’ve received five requests

I’m going to give away invitations to Popfly to the first five people who email me or leave comments telling me what they want to do with the service.

Seriously, it’s that easy: just leave me a note saying that you want to build a mashup that does ‘x’ and I’ll send you an invite.

If you haven’t seen Popfly yet, it’s a new service from my team in Microsoft that lets you easily build rich, visually-compelling mashups by combining information from different sites like Netflix, Facebook, Xbox Live, Virtual Earth, and tons of others without writing any code.

    I’m programming web sites sometimes for fun sometimes for business, however I have some difficulties in designing web pages because my programming side is strong so I’m searching for a software that I can easily design mine web pages and go straight to my sql or c# programmimg with a fresh mind, anymore worrying about the design:)

    Hi,
    I dont exactly know what I can do on popfly. However, I may probably publish info and demos about WPF and Silverlight. Or maybe I can create a confussion on people’s mind that will change the world vice versa and lead us to fun and happiness. At least, if I won’t find anything I can pop a fly with a microwave or with a magnifying glass. Either way I wont eat it.

    Hi Aaron,
    I’m building a Live.com collection for the upcoming Glastonbury festival in the UK. I’ve got some cool ideas for gadgets that could go on it (e.g. twitters with the word “glastonbury” in them, a Live Map of the festival site, ) and Popfly would make it dead easy for me to build them.

    Any chance?

    cheers
    -Jamie

    P.S. Any other ideas for glastonbury-related gadgets would be most welcome.

    Well, I probably wont get the invite but I would like to use the photosphere as a 3d visual navigation for our 160 applications (cant tell you what the apps are), but it would be awsome to make this work so people wont have to go through tons of menus to launch an app.
