Search giant, Google is currently testing a new application that will let users create and edit spreadsheets over the internet.
Google Spreadsheets is compatible with Microsoft Excel, but works very differently. It is totally internet based, meaning that users can easily edit their work from any computer in the world, and share it with others. Files can be saved onto your hard drive in .xls, .csv, or HTML format.
The most revolutionary feature of all is the ability for up to 10 people at once to edit a single spreadsheet, while chatting in real time – Great for business collaboration.
Once it is publicly released this hot new application will undoubtedly be popular among business travelers, and those wanting a handy way to view and edit files on the go.
