Well, its been a day since Google Spreadsheets was launched on 6 June 2006. Phew, there are tons of blog postings and articles in the internet about this latest offering from Google. I have read through many of them and decided that I should give a really short digest of those postings and articles which I think are more interesting and "authoritative" for those of you who have just tuned in on this latest buzz and who want a quick update on what its all about. Here goes !
1. Inside Google Spreadsheets, Google Blogoscoped, Philipp Larsen.
This post is interesting in that it contains two movies showing Philipp putting Google Spreadsheet through its paces. No sound though ! Good overview, not much details on the actual features.
2. Microsoft: Google Spreadsheets is so 10 years ago, InternetNews, Nicholas Carlson.
This article discusses the product from the perspectives of the Google product manager, Jonathan Rochelle, as well as the views of Microsoft spokesperson Heather Gillissen. No details on the features of the product here.
3. Google Spreadsheets: A Good Start, GeekMix.com.
This blog post gives a bit more details on the workings of the spreadsheet as well as what is not so good about it.
4. Google Spreadsheets has fewer functions than MS Excel, San Francisco Chronicle, Verne Kopytoff.
This article takes a fresh but contrarian view of Google's latest offering, the author preferring Excel over Google Spreadsheets.
5. Google Spreadsheets: Very Basic, Pretty Interesting, Harry McCraken.
What I like about this article is that it gives a pretty detailed account of the functionality and features of Google Spreadsheets.
6. Google Makes Strides in Online Office; Microsoft Lags, Forbes.com, Kate Dubose Tomassi.
This article discusses about what how Microsoft lags behind many startups today in the area of online applications.
7. Google Spreadsheets Beta: A Review, Brian's Blog.
This blog gives by far one of the most detailed account and description on the functionality of Google Spreadsheets. Lots of pictures available.
