Custom Page Themes
Personal Home Page
Custom maps
Build a home page. You can build a custom home page, say for your school’s sports team and choose from over 150 different themes, 10 styles, and 30 unique color themes for a unique visual design. You can then easily add things like team photos, a team schedule from an RSS feed, video from previous games, Virtual Earth maps with directions to game locations and more, all without writing code.
Tweak tool
Video player
Embed in Windows Live Spaces
Mix and re-mix photos and videos. Popfly makes it easy to create and share beautiful slideshows using pictures from Flickr, Windows Live Spaces, Facebook or to embed a podcast or a video player hosting videos from Soapbox or YouTube and share it on your Facebook profile, Windows Live Spaces page, or any Web page.
Personal aggregator
Halo 3 game stats
Digg news reader
Unify your online personality. Popfly enables you to customize and stitch together your online persona in one place. You can create mashups that show what you dug on Digg.com, what you are buying or selling on eBay, your Halo 3 game scores, what Facebook events you’re attending, what your friends are doing on Twitter, and much more.

In addition, Popfly offers a powerful web programming environment and social network so you can bring in new data sources, create new ways to display information, or even create and share full Visual Studio projects.
