15 Things You Can Do With Yahoo! UI
July 12th, 2006
The Vitamin has a post on 15 things you can do with the Yahoo! UI. I have to admit, Yahoo did a pretty good job of creating the library.

June 13th, 2006

It makes editing documents on the web a lot faster than the traditional point and click.

June 12th, 2006
Google has released a test version of their Google Spreadsheet software. You can sign up to be on the list to try out the new software.
