i'm in.

looks v.cool

one BIG flaw that i immediately see – there's no
"sigma" sign in the toolbar for summing. (it looks like a big E in Excel)

i had to go to "formulas" and click on "sum".

if anyone wants an invite to my spreadsheet , you can mail me at
justinf[put at-character here]gmail.com

you have to have a gmail account for me to invite you.

oooh – dodgy. just noticed another thing.

invite people to edit
invite people to view

you might pick the wrong box by accident and invite a viewer , but give them editing rights.

i'm not sure how they'll make that one entirely foolproof...

aha – just noticed – you can remove a editor – bottom right.
that fixes the "invite an editor" by accident problem.

i have to say, this is a seriously cool app.
the collaboration aspect could be very useful.

Justin, if you can find out new features that should be added... Feel free to add them to this thread:

We just want to bundle the good ideas for the folks of Google...
(It seems they all have bookmarked Philipp's blog ;-)).

cheers. thanks. i'll add them in there.

right now i've got about 3 people collaborating on my spreadsheet.

it is a interesting way to chat. they are leaving messages in the spreadsheet cells , rather than the chat option.

interesting... i get the feeling , and this is my gut instinct, that spreadsheets might not be used for spreadsheeting – it could well turn out to be one big "graffiti" style message board, for interactive chat.
