Google Spreadsheets
June 7, 2006
Google Spreadsheet is the Excel competitor of Google. That’s a good idea and shows that contrarily what Schmidt said just after they acquired Writely, Google is really in the web office arena. And that’s a good move I think. People say things like Google Spreadsheets look bad, they’re 10 years behind Microsoft etc.. But this is just the beginning and the visible part of the iceberg. We should wait and see what Google’s web office dream is becoming.
But they should really work hard; because it’s much easier for MS to make a web version of their Office suite. I know that they already started to work on it; and converting their current product to a web based one should be much easier than creating a whole new one.
I expect Yahoo to enter in this competition too. In that case their primary preference would be Zoho I believe. This was a prediction of mine in my previous entries.
We’ll see; the market is getting hot and I’m happy to see this.
