Microsoft is now done ironing out the bugs and feedback gathered during the invited-only alpha release period. Now anyone with a Live ID can start a Popfly account and start being creative.
Microsoft® Popfly™ is a web site and tool to help people create and share web sites, mashups, and other kinds of experiences. It has two parts: the social network ("Popfly Space") and the online tool for creating different mashups and web sites ("Popfly Creator."). In addition to the Popfly web site, Microsoft® Popfly™ Explorer Beta is an add-on component for Microsoft Visual Studio® 2005 that enables you to create and share Visual Studio® projects on the Popfly Space network.
The list of added features of the beta can be summarized as follows:
- Gadgets. Popfly can create both Windows Vista Sidebar gadgets and Windows Live gadgets.
- Tweaking and Properties. Last iteration, we added “tweaking,” but many blocks didn’t have a lot of properties to tweak, so we added properties to a host of our output blocks including Photoshow, Virtual Earth, PhotoSphere, Gauge, and Page Turner.
- Tweaking and the color picker. When you tweak a mashup you now have a color picker so you don’t have to remember the alphanumeric codes for colors.
- New and updated blocks. Popfly has a category for new and updated blocks.
- New screencasts. Updated videos explaining how to use Popfly.
- New blocks.
- Updated block documentation.
