The Microsoft Pop­Fly alpha can make you lose three days. In a good way. I haven’t had so much fun since, well, Pho­toshop maybe.

I’ve cre­ated a pub­lic Pop­Fly “Block” called Neil­FinnLyr­ics (now shared) this is bare, bare bones. It simply uses the new REST inter­face to the Ran­dom Neil Finn Lyric Server.  The Lyric Server sup­ports SOAP/WSDL, and nor­mal image insertion.

Pop­Fly is social pro­gram­ming: drag and drop blocks onto the page, and cre­ate your own mashups of data. Adding Neil Finn’s Lyr­ics to the data that can be mashed up is just another step in get­ting the words out there. My love for Neil Finn knows almost no bounds.

Writ­ing a Block with the cur­rent Alpha requires know­ledge of JavaS­cript and XML. And a little bit of patience.

Come have a chat at ReMIX to dis­cuss where you may also profit from Pop­Fly. The first thing that should be cre­ated is a branded Pop­Fly Super­an­nu­ation Block. Thoughts?
