Microsoft Popfly Asks if You Have Enough Flair

Office Space FlairExpress yourself” is the slogan for Microsoft’s newest (currently in alpha) development project called Microsoft Popfly.

It seems very appropriate since it reminds me of a certain conversation from a certain movie, where a corporate type used that same line.

Microsoft is the new Chotchkie’s. But if they really wanted to express themselves, they should have at least 37 ducks on the home page, or at least 15. C’mon Microsoft, I thought I remembered you saying that you wanted to express yourself.

(Kidding aside though, I hope I can get in invite since Popfly looks like a promising way to get into developing Facebook widgets.)

LOL,

We may just need to add some actual flair to our site :)

As for different ducks, at Maker Faire last weekend, we setup a station for people to post their duck designs and there were over 100 different designs - http://flickr.com/photos/popflyteam/

When I get some free time, I want to create a Lumberg sound board :)

You should add a big button on the top right of the site that says “We’re not in Kansas anymore”. Heck, I’d even be willing to make you one. :)

Hey Markus - You crack me up :) Shoot me an email and I’ll happily send a Popfly invitation back to that address.

Look at mister “making things happen like he used to back in the day” man. You should write a clever entry about Bentleys next, just in case they are watching too.
