I am a big Google supporter myself, but I am a conscientious objector to the hype surrounding Google office apps. What’s this with crappy online Word and not-any-better Excel? I mean it’s cool for Microsoft to have competition, but…
Well, this wonderful online toy Google created just got upgraded. Google spreadsheets now has charts. Very nice, actually. Perhaps Microsoft and others could learn from Google to create simple and clean interfaces. Of course, though, these apps are lacking severely in the usability department. What can I use this for? Excel has a million functions at my fingertips… but do I need those functions? Hmm… Perhaps not…
In any case, take a look at this article on PC World’s Techlog and decide for yourself. I’d also recommend subscribing to a Google account to see this beast for yourself.
