Microsoft cuts Popfly mashup tool, citing economic 'refocus'

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft confirmed today that it plans to discontinue its Popfly online 
| programming tool, which let people create online games, web sites and mashups 
| of Internet services. A note on the Popfly site says the service will be 
| discontinued Aug. 24. A related blog post doesn't explain a reason for the 
| decision, but Microsoft says budget cutbacks played a role.

It was Linux hostile. Good riddance to poor engineering from a deeply
sociopathic company.
