The title pretty much sums it up. I own a webhosting company, have more than a handful domain names to myself, yet all of my email lies in Gmail. A large majority of my online excursions take place in Google Reader. I find myself slowly getting into Google Notebook. The thing is, their products are so damn good that you can’t help but use them.So yesterday I signed up to beta test Google’s newest service, Google Spreadsheets. This time, Google has Microsoft Excel in its crosshairs, offering an online version of Excel (though with limited features currently), and allowing extremely simple document collaboration and sharing.
I played around with the service yesterday, and even tried to use the sharing features to show my fellow Hawaiian travellers our expenses for the trip. Due to the “limited beta” state of this new service however, not everyone was able to take a look. The service is not supported on Safari, but all you OSX-ers should be on Firefox anyway.
The Unofficial Google Weblog has a small review of the new service, which seems to cover most of the services features (as well as the bugs). Enjoy.
PS – I’m still working on the layout for this blog, so bear with me and pardon the dust 
UPDATE: Microsoft has issued a response to Google’s new offering – check it out if you are interested in a response to an unfinished limited beta product
