Facebook and Microsoft's Popfly - Watch the innovation happen

Duckandlogotype Microsoft has announced a formal partnership with Facebook. The partnership will enable integration of Facebook’s new platform using Popfly and Visual Studio and further extend the reach of Silverlight applications to Facebook which has 23 million users and 40 billion page views a month.   The Microsoft and Facebook partnership means Facebook are now empowered to customize their Facebook pages.

Facebooklogo Facebook is allowing its users to use third party tools to build all kinds of mashups and fun applications. Facebook is becoming a platform for innovation. MySpace stands in contrast, resisting developers and widget innovators.

Popfly is an awesome, easy to use tool, that allows anyone to build fancy web pages, mashups, and fun applications. If you can use PowerPoint...you can use Popfly. It is that simple. Simple, yet powerful.

See my earlier post on Popfly for more details about what it can do. Popfly and Facebook are a match made in heaven. Facebook users will love using Popfly and will build amazing things we never thought about.

About Don Dodge

I have been in the software business for more than 20 years. I started my software career with Digital Equipment Corp, aka DEC, in the database group. I worked with 5 software start-ups over the next 12 years. Forte Software was the first multiplatform object oriented development environment. AltaVista was the first search engine on the web. Napster was the first P2P file sharing network. Bowstreet was the first web services development environment. Groove Networks was the first secure P2P collaboration platform. Now I am at Microsoft...the biggest start-up in the world... working with VC's and start-ups in the greater Boston area. The goal is to help VC's and start-ups be successful with Microsoft, and together, provide great products for our customers.
