Chat with More than 2 with Google Spreadsheets

I played with Google Spreadsheets for nearly an hour today with my online friends Randy and Andrew.

The amazing thing here is that, when sharing with more than 2 others, you can actually chat with all of them at the same time. Why doesn’t Google Talk have this feature yet? And this is within a web browser (not a desktop app), too!

As you can see, we ran into a few problems. Most of these are outside of Google’s control, although there is also some server instability that prevented Randy from connecting to the server: “Firefox can’t find the server at 488.spreadsheets.google.com.” (with random numbers instead of 488). We pushed G Spreadsheets to its limit, using it for both work…

… and play.

GSpreadsheets worked well enough in both cases. It’s a superb way to quickly and easily create and share spreadsheets. The primary lacking feature? Charts and graphs. Text formatting and formulas are all there, and it’s easy to work with, too — in some cases, even easier than Microsoft Excel.
