Popfly Blocks
Microsoft unveiled on May 18 its Web mash-up tool for the masses, codenamed "Springfield," and now officially christened "Popfly."
Unlike Yahoo Pipes, Popfly is not aimed at tech-savvy users. Microsoft is hoping to attract non-professional programmers and hobbyists who are interested in building mash-ups, gadgets, simple Web pages and basic applications.
Popfly Blocks -- 40 of which are currently available -- will allow users to snap together existing Web pages, data and syndicated information. Microsoft and third-party developers are building more custom blocks.
