Google Spreadsheets

Google Spreadsheets is out in invite-only beta. While Techcrunch may not think much of it I think it is another example of Google hitting the right mark. I don’t use spreadsheets much but the ones I have tried online have been a bit clunky at best. Some are too complex while others are a bunch of table tags and a save button. GSpread (my name, awful isn’t it :-D) is much like Google Calendar in that it offers up the core features, some clever background functionality and a usable interface. You don’t have to be a whiz to use it but you won’t be limited either.

    You're absolutely right Paul. I think Mr. Arrington is just trying to court some controversy/publicity for himself here.

    I've resisted Microsoft Office for over 10 years now in my home computers and Google is slowly but surely making it clear that I'll never have to go for bloat. What's really terrific is the sharing and chat features - myself and my business partner in the USA can now use the combination of gmail, gcalendar and gspread ;-) for 95% of 'Office' business needs :-)
