I still remember how my idea of a post about Yahoo! Pipes was stolen ;) However, I’m not going to let it happen this time.

Of course, it was just a matter of time when does Microsoft offer something for easy creation of mash-ups. And here it is, Microsoft Popfly. It’s based on Microsoft’s own substitute to Flash, the Silverlight technology. The service is still in invitations-only alpha testing phase, so I wasn’t able to play with it myself (I sent a request for invitation, though), but there are some reviews and demos. Looks nice, and it’s 3D! :)

Makes me wonder what will Google’s response look like…
