Google has released the beta of an online spreadsheet. It is aimed at the consumer/home office market -- in other words, at people who use their spreadsheets for reasonably simple accounting processes, data tracking, or other tasks. According to Information Week, "Google Spreadsheet is fun to play with, and has some interesting potential as far as sharing data online is concerned, but right now it's more a curiosity than a working model."
Google Spreadsheet is currently in "limited test" mode; you can apply for an invitation at http://spreadsheets.google.com. If you do not want to use Microsoft's spreadsheet application, go with one of the open-source applications, of which OpenOffice is the best known, according to IW.
