Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet writes: “Microsoft is developing a tool that will allow non-programmers to customize and mash-up various Web 2.0 applications and services, say sources close to the company.”
She adds: “That tool — now code-named ‘Springfield,’ according to one source — is similar in concept to the recently introduced Yahoo Pipes composite-mashup tool introduced by Yahoo in February. Pipes provides a graphical-user-interace-based interface for building applications that aggregate Web feeds and other Web services.”
