Google Spreadsheet BETA Sneak Peek and sign up
      #286239 - Wed Jun 07 2006 03:58 AM

They have just posted the sign up link and 1 solitary screen shot for the new Google Spreadsheet Program (ex Writely)
I read on another link that this is a limited Number signup (rumour?)

The world’s leading search engine company, Google, has introduced a program to compete with software giant Microsoft’s Excel program. The program currently in the limited experimental stage and a release date has not yet been determined.

The official Google blog page reveals that the program is used in Google and that the program that can be later updated on the internet page can be seen instantly by the recipient. Google said 10 people will be able to work on the same program simultaneously.



Interesting the contents of that last sentence
from www.zaman.com A Turkish website

Google Blog 2nd item down

Ps You can also signup via the www.writely.com site where the original program came from to bypass the queue . I imagine there'll be plenty of clear Screen shots and info there ...Click on the "Tour" Link

Just got the email about it now inviting me to use the spreadsheet. I had a very quick go and it seems very good, I will give it a better look when it is not so late. Thanks.

Well as you can have 50 collaborators on your spreadsheet and they all get to have a Writely account that way, where's my invite?
