Pop!

A full week away from Hyderabad and away from Internet access (mostly) left me craving for computer time. I took a hell of a lot of photos and have to filter and upload them and then post them here. That should take a couple of days. Maybe more.

Sooooo, the big thing that happened last week was the announcement of Microsoft Popfly - this has been under wraps for a while now and it's amazing how well it turned out to be. People call it a whole bunch of things - a mashup creator, a tool for developers, a social networking website and so on. To me, Popfly is just fun. Pure, unadultered fun.

Popfly is still an early release and there's a scarcity of invites, which probably means that a lot of folks wouldn't have been able to create mashups or poke around. I got a chance to play with it and here are screenshots.

This is a small mashup I created..

And this is how it turns out to be right after two mouse clicks ..

Popfly and flowers

And this is a game of Whack-a-Mole mashed up using Pink (I searched for Pink at Yahoo! Photos and mashed it up with Whack-a-Mole game) pictures..

Whack a mole!

Popfly is probably the best Silverlight application I have seen so far. I really like the look and feel of the site and totally adore the About Us page.

And oh, I have an invite with me which I want to give out. If you want to play around with Popfly, send me a mail, and I'll send you the sole invite I have.

FREE MOBILE SERVICE IN INDIA!!

Hi Friends,

If you are an Indian and need few quick bucks... Then I do not think you can afford to miss this opportunity... This is a great source for extra income... I seriously suggest that you try it once... because, nothing (I mean absolutely nothing) goes from your pocket and you can easily make Rs.1600/- per month.

What am I talking about?
This is about a website mGinger.com that pays you to read ads on your cellphone! These ads are only about your interests.

Not only that, you get to decide when you want these ads.
Check it out...
