Alright, so I thought, Yeah it will do sheet really well but that is about it.
This thing really works! I uploaded a Multi-tabed document wiht cross linking between the tabs. It keeps up and updates data across them.
So now I need a good place to store all my files online, will all my online apps and I can truely be virtual.
Google will want one, Yahoo will want one just because Google has one, Microsoft will want one if it has features that they want to incorporate into Live, and once Microsoft has one Apple will want one.
Like I said in the last spreadsheet posting, this MAY be the wave of the future. But are we ready for the negatives, too? Do we want ALL of our information available online? Just this week, google was ordered to deliver DELETED gmail emails. Like I have said in the past regarding RFID’s – it might be great to not have to pay at the checkout, but I can just imagine getting back home, opening up my email and there be a letter from my insurance company raising my rates cuz I just bought a tube of Preperation H and a chocolate bar and their statistics show that I am more liable to suffer from Blah Blah!

Row row your boat away, slower than dirt for medium complex forrmulas. Outside of doing small projects online, I can’t see the purpose of this. Like Visicalc era functionality.
I wrote to the Writely people suggesting a feature and a staff member wrote me a nice reply.
Besides my suggestion, I asked them how they are going to fend-off Yahoo, Hotmail, GMail, etc.
Surely, if these on-line application sites get any traction, at all, Yahoo (et al) will just add that funtionality to their already impressive offering.
Even now, the email clients can be used as a simple word processor and filing system. (I use it that way) It would be easy to tweek it into a real one.
She said she was aware of this challenge but, of course, didn’t reveal anything to a perfect stranger.
I have to wonder if they’re whole business plan is to get bought-out by one of the big-dogs.
For companies like Writely, it really isn’t about making a product that can compete with Yahoo, Microsoft et al… Its about making a product that one of them will buy and incorporate….
Google doing exactly that.
Most Web 2.0 companies are created literally, in order to be sold.
