Changing the world yet again...

Google has always been great, they have always come with great surprises.

Recently, they created a web-spreadsheet, with purpose of sharing enabling.

And if any of you are interested with the history of spreadsheet, you may check out this link where Microsoft has been the latest ruler of the spreadsheet world, a reign held for many years without qualifying competitor.

The fact that Microsoft has been granted such wealth for so long is due to two reasons:
1. Microsoft never intended to make spreadsheet sharable in a workgroup manner. To do that you have to buy other products such as Microsoft Sharepoint or even Microsoft Outlook.
2. Everybody has been thinking about making money because creating a "sharable" software seems like a bad idea for profit maximization.

Therefore, Google Spreadsheet is definitely not about sending group email or time-share, it is in fact having less for more.

Let's take a look at some latest development with Google..
