Microsoft Popfly is a web application that lets you build mashups without any coding. You get a dashboard with differnt blocks already lined up for you. You can choose the blocks and then connect them around. Each block will give options corresponding to the service say for facebook you can choose from the drop down menu all the fuctions like getfriends, getpics etc. Choose one of the functions and pass the data on to the next block to process. We created a small mashup between facebook, virtual earth and geonames.
Choose the facebook block from the menu
Click on the fuctions list and choose getfriends
Connect it to a new block of geonames
Choose location from facebook block and put it in geonames
Take the latitude and longitude of the location as given my geonames and connect it to a virtual earth block
Choose the facebook thumnail url to display in addpin function of virtual earth.Run it and see the output
You can see the one I created here Popfly also allows you to create your own web pages, much like Google Page Creator.
If you want to see the popfly project you can tweak it and suggest improvements here .
