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. Like GMail it’s a web baased application using AJAX as its key method for transportation. This is another Web 2.0 example and another transition from desktop applications to web applications. Now I don’t think all desktop applications will be replaced by web applications anytime soon, there is definitely a strong push to develop the ones that are possible at this time.

Google is on the forefront of the Web 2.0 push. It seems to me that Google doesn’t necessary have the idea first, but they are definitely one of the first to put a quality product into the hands of its users. With proper testing and development, I think that Google Spreadsheets will turn out to be another great product from those at Google.
