I imagine Google building Google Spreadsheet 2.0 which is a clone (or clone-like) of Excel that people access on Google servers through the cloud. The program would be a full program accessed via the web, but not web-based. Therefore, the limitations of Google Spreadshees 1.0 would not be present, cause I agree - it's pretty clunky and annoying right now.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613335439008713150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-44165920700033387582010-05-14T11:44:56.541-07:002010-05-14T11:44:56.541-07:00I'm not gonna lie, the only link I clicked on ...I'm not gonna lie, the only link I clicked on was the "sex is great" one<br /><br />Ok and the "moo" one<br /><br />I agree with free cloud office software, but again only if it's got the same functionality and ease of use.

We're still in the honeymoon stage for social media (ending soon!) where we're all googly-eyed over what it can do for us. The next year will bring the realization that we don't really want to put up with the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPFvgx4EGTQ" rel="nofollow">snoring</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dV_hA43iCo" rel="nofollow">ball-scratching</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_Xw-HbqVh0" rel="nofollow">slob</a> we married, even if the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0ji-Dq7QCg" rel="nofollow">sex is great</a>.<br /><br />This is all to say that the slob better find some new tricks to keep us around.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613335439008713150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-53248692890792562010-05-14T08:26:32.644-07:002010-05-14T08:26:32.644-07:00By the way Scott excellent job burying the more in...By the way Scott excellent job burying the more interesting story in your PPS. I find it really impressive that MS continues to dominate the business software world.<br /><br />Microsoft Office is just way more usable than the competitors right now. For instance you could never actually use Google Documents (free competitor) with nearly the same quickness as Office. Especially if you start going for deeper functions (macros, pivot tables) Microsoft is a better choice, from what I've experienced.Roycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026696036192099488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-53570408245881788062010-05-14T08:24:44.410-07:002010-05-14T08:24:44.410-07:00I agree more with Oatmeal than with GotGame.

So to the extent that social networking continues to be useful in logical ways (like Facebook being a platform for being connected to everyone and every website on your mobile device), then great. But I hate joining new sites that I know are dumb.<br /><br />Also I find Twitter entertaining but I hardly find it as useful as Facebook. Of course I also have a stupidphone so maybe that's a factor.Roycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026696036192099488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-13685020460512935442010-05-13T15:26:04.391-07:002010-05-13T15:26:04.391-07:0042 seconds.

I really think social web is the future. I believe that we'll probably increasingly navigate the web based on what our friends recommend... i.e. I just took that quiz because Scott told me it was funny.<br /><br />BUT I also agree that we've pretty much hit saturation point with this current model. Stalkerbook clones will not survive, but I can pretty much guarantee that social networking is here to stay and we'll be seeing a lot of sites launch in an attempt to find that perfect way of monetizing whatever you're willing to share.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698753616430648485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-57554040219078516132010-05-13T14:42:58.442-07:002010-05-13T14:42:58.442-07:0047 seconds
