Microsoft has pulled out their first official silverlight powered Web app...
www.popfly.ms
And simply put, it looks awesome.
There is a 15min presentation introducing the *alpha* version here:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91175
I highly recommend the watch.
Basically, it's an end-to-end content tool for data/code 'mash ups'. With blogging, web design and other features built in.
The idea is that code utitilies, be they photo viewers, rss readers, etc, are descrete 'blocks' in a system. These blocks take in data and pump out data. They can be edited and shared.
The video shows an example where a twitter block loads data, a geo locater block gets the latitude/longitude, and then it is plonked onto a virtual earth block. All edited in the browser
Keep an eye out for the use of VB.net in visual studio at the end.
The potential of this is absolutely huge.
