The march of the web based
office continues with
Numbler, a web-based spreadsheet app that enables collaboration
with others in real time. It works like most any spreadsheet but is has far fewer features, so it's probably best suited
for keeping simple data that many people need to access and change at the same time. Numbler spreadsheets are identified
by URL alone, so you don't have to register an account and it's easy to invite others to use your spreadsheet. It also
has import and export features, including XML and CSV files such as Excel exports. Numbler is of course in beta and
though it duplicates many of Excel's functions and idiom's, it will probably take a lot of getting used to for diehard
Excel users.
