Technology Tales: Google Spreadsheets

Calling all Excel fans! Google Labs has for you a Web-based spreadsheet application all brand, spanking new and, as Rod Serling used to say, "presented for your consideration..."

Google Spreadsheets is designed so that existing spreadsheets can be imported or new ones created through the Web browser. Colleagues can be invited to work on the spreadsheets with you and you can make and share changes together real-time and simultaneously. Take the tour here.

Go forth and kick the tires! (But be sure to leave us some feedback about it in the comments! Inquiring minds and all that...)

Hi, I am Cliff from EditGrid. Besides Google spreadsheets, there are various online spreadsheets working in different directions, includes EditGrid and Numbler which you may wish to try. We have our new release yesterday. In this release, we can get live stockquote and forex by our remote data function. Here is a demo stock portfolio valuation demo . Besides remote data, our API are now open, allowing you to build your own application using EditGrid.

Of course we would never forget our fundamentals, for spreadsheet functions, drag and fill and advance number formatting is now available.

There is a comparison between EditGrid and Google Spreadsheets:http://www.editgrid.com/tnc/pkchan/EditGrid_v._Google

Thanks for your comment, Cliff. I really like your stock portfolio demo and the comparison chart of four spreadsheets. Looks like there are a lot more tires to kick than I initially thought!
