What a difference!
A lot was written recently about Google Spreadsheet . I had been avoiding writing about it , mostly because so much was written about it that I didn’t see any good reason to join the crowd.
I only writing about Google Spreadsheet as a comparison to WikiCalc – and the comparison isn’t compliments Google Spreadsheet. Google’s product is very basic, but this isn’t his real problem. The problem is that it except Microsoft office paradigm without any attempt to change the concept. Nick Carr called it ad-on to MS Office, and he has a good point.
WikiCalc, however, taking the spreadsheet to different places. It is a very interesting attempt to not only take the spreadsheet out of the local machine but to implement some of the advantages of the web.

We're still at the very beginning of realising the data platform concept. But we're moving fast on this track. Hope we can deliver many more examples and usages in this area in the very near future.
