Playing around w/PopFly and Facebook
This past weekend, I got a chance to find out first-hand the joys of social networking. I did finally take the plunge and signed myself up for a Facebook account. If not for anything else other than to understand how my daughter could spend so much time on Facebook.
It was fun and I didn't realize I had so many friends on Facebook already that my wife had to remind me gently to spend time away from the computer.
I also used this opportunity to see my daughter use PopFly to build some mash-ups quickly and embed them in her Facebook page. It is always fun to see people use our products and technologies and see somebody close to me use PopFly to express their creativity made it all the more exciting.
Here is a quick video capture of the kinds of things that she was able to do.

Very cool!
I’m heading for Greece next week with my girlfriend. I’ve equipped myself with a Windows Mobile 6 enabled phone and a GPS Bluetooth receiver. And I’ve written a nice little .NET CF 2.0 application that uploads my photos from the phone to my Flickr account and geotag the photos with latitude and longitude position.
With Popfly I could probably mash up my photos and put them on a Virtual earth map based on lat and long? It would be awesome for the people back home to see the pictures we have taken on a Virtual Earth map mashed up with my Flickr photos.
