"The argument goes like this: For many people, it would be just as easy to have the computer in the cloud store the information that you use everyday. Furthermore, if you have that model, it should enable very rapid sharing so we embarked on a strategy more than a year ago to build applications that are focused on sharing and collaboration," he said. "The sum of that is a different way of managing information and we don't position it as an office suite. We position it as something you'd use everyday in everyday life." "Yes, but it is still a replacement for Office," countered Batelle. "We don't see it as a replacement of Office. The focus we have is not the focus they have," Schmidt said, referring to Microsoft. "Our focus is on casual sharing and casual collaboration." But Batelle was not having it. "But the benefit is that its free." "Well you could pay people to use your product," said Schmidt.

“it’s” means “it is.” It’s called a contraction.

“its” is the possessive form of “it”.

I agree with magher, too. A hosting plan with an S3 backend would take care of the platform neutral issues.

They've been a little quiet lately, and if they are to beat a giant like Amazon they will need to move more quickly.

The S3 service is used to store documents attached to Smartsheets. (It's really fast...) W/ respect to a couple of the differentiators vs. Google and other online spreadsheets, Smartsheet provides 1) self-posting e-mail updates (people can update fields within a smartsheet from e-mail without signing in) 2) vs. an all or nothing RSS feed, the ability to request alerts on changes to specific fields (e.g. alert me when a due date changes) Thanks for commenting.
