New Use for Old Code-Geeking Out
Way back, in the dawn of time, there was VisiCalc. It was the "first" Spreadsheet software that we would recognize as such, and later evolved into...well, Lotus 1-2-3.
Anyway, Dan Bricklin, co-developer of VisiCalc is at it again, finding a new use for the old code: wikiCalc.

What is it? A fully distributed spreadsheet application, like a wiki version of Excel. It's only alpha, but the potential is huge. There is already online word processing, but this is the first (that I have heard of) application that pulls spreadsheet functionality out of the .exe and onto a web based platform.
The web OS is one step closer.

Interesting. I wonder how this affects Excel and its Open Office equivalent?
