Popfly is top website to watch!

PCWorld named Popfly as one of it's top 25 websites to watch and I guess is #1 as it's right at the top of the list!

Here's the blurb on what PCWorld have to say:

"If you haven't already discovered the world of mashups, Microsoft's Popfly is a good place to start. Mashups combine multiple Web-based sites or applications to produce all sorts of useful things, such as an overlay of traffic information over Google Maps. With Popfly, you can create your own mashups--and you don't have to know a lick of code to do it. Just drag prefab building blocks, connect them, and you have an instant mashup that you can add to an existing Web page or turn into its own site. For example, you can easily produce a mashup that grabs pictures from a site like Flickr and then displays them in a rotating cube"

This is great news as the site has been built on Silverlight but even more than that for me is that a very good friend Andy Sterland is one of the Program Managers on the team. I'd like to say I had a small part to play in the success of Popfly as I recommended Andy to his boss John Montgomery after knowing and working with Andy here in the UK. With people like Andy on board I know the Popfly service is going to rock!

I wrote an article on Popfly for our MSDN Flash (go sign up if you are a professional developer, it's getting even better!) - Popfly: the mash-up revolution

Congrats to the Popfly team!
