Google Spreadsheets

Filed in archive News on June 7, 2006

Google Spreadsheets has launched, although it's a limited test. Currently google doesn't give accounts to everyone. The Specs are not too different from other products in this category such as ZohoSheet besides one thing :
Edit with others in real time:
Multiple people can edit or view your spreadsheet at the same time as you - their names will appear in an on-screen chat window.
It looks like the office is moving to the web. If this trend continues we can soon all work from home, as far as I am concerned....
Take the tour !

Have you seen EditGrid (http://www.editgrid.com/home)?

It has a quite differentiating feature called real-time-update, which is now shared by google and numbler only. Moreover, you're allowed to address your

spreadsheet with a human readable url like: http://www.editgrid.com/tnc/pkchan/EditGrid_v._Google')" rel="nofollow">http://www.editgrid.com/tnc/pkchan/EditGrid_v._Google">http://www.edit
grid.com/tnc/pkchan/EditGrid_v._Google
, and if you append ".xls" to the end of the url, you'll get the exported version immediately. Quite distinctive.

So you may wish to mention this one also!

Google spreadsheets are a GREAT idea. Online apps, such as writely.com allow increased portability between users and computers, plus online storage and security.
