Google Spreadsheets

Following on from Google’s purchase of Writely (the web-based word processor), we now have Google Spreadsheets. This is a spreadsheet application that runs in your browser (no need to install anything) and that lets you access your data anywhere. Even better, like Writely, it lets you work collaboratively – several people can have the same document open at the same time, changing things. The application fits all the changes together. Try doing that in MS Office! No “read-only” mode here.

So, that’s the word processor and the spreadsheet in web-based versions. What’s next? GoogleOffice could become a reality…
