From Mary Jo Foley:

Popfly is designed to allow non-professional programmers and hobbyists to build mash-ups, gadgets, Web sites and applications using pre-built “blocks.” As of now, there are 40 of these Web-programming blocks from which they can choose, including Flickr, Windows Live Spaces, Virtual Earth and news service blocks. (More are coming from Microsoft and third parties, Fernandez said.) Popfly users can tie together these data-source, transformation and display blocks to create their own customized mash-ups.

Check out the site and these screenshots for more.
