Users can chat with one and another with a chat window similar to what you get with Gmail messaging and even see changes being made to the spreadsheet as the other user works on it. This is excellent for groups or teams for work, although for the average user, I don’t see much benefit in it. I can definitely see myself using it as it seems like every other day I’m on the phone with my boss looking over and modify a spreadsheet, then having to send a finalized copy. 7 Junho 2006 | [...] […] Solution Watch: Google Spreadsheets in Limited Beta Similar to the spreadsheet service, Numbler, users can invite their friends or co-workers to work on a spreadsheet collaboratively in real-time.
