This is preety cool.. Do they have interface / API (like Excel server )so we can get this information via other applications ?

Agreed, Excel is the end-all spreadsheet. No one will ever be able to dethrone the king spreadsheet, not even the minions of Google typing away and exercising their overinflated stock options will be able to beat Redmond’s domination. See applixware, lotus, wingz, xsess (and those are the easy one’s to remember) that are losers in this area.

Good luck to Glide and Google, I am a skeptic.

It seems like they get the need for on and offline spreadsheets. The problem is that Excel won the spreadsheet wars years ago. Check out http://www.expressocorp.com for an alternatvie that acutally gives you multi-user, web enabeled Excel.

If I’m reading their terms and conditions correctly, this is for personal use only.

So if I store a document concerning or from work, they can cancel my account. How will they know what’s in my documents? The signup allows them to read anything and everything I upload.

Thanks Glide, but no thanks.

When I read the title my first thought was that Glide sounds like a brand of razors. Actually, that’s a good idea. They should stop this thing and sell razors instead. Everyone needs razors. They could become the first Web 2.0 startup to make a sensible profit.

Ah, but can it do a “diff” between two spreadsheets? Show/track changes by multiple users?

It appears that Glide is a combination of Flash and Ajax apps in the the browser and local apps outside of the browser with their synchronization app maintaining files on Glide servers and the user’s desktop. it’s worlds apart from the Google gears approach and maybe better.

Has anyone tried the Glide iphone app? It is impressive. they have a pretty sophisticated ajax word processor and a feature rich ajax web publishing app. The apps work in sync with the desktop versions perfectly so far.

Sounds just like Thinkfree Premium, except Thinkfree has offline versions of all their office apps.

This is great. I will have to try it. Obviously a company wants to make good on the trust that the investors put on it, however, successful or not, late to the party or not, it does present a different perspective to the cloud.

I wish them luck.

Why are Sharepoint users resorting to email for transferring bulky spreadsheets?

Google reads everything from your gmail (just look at the ads related directly to the content of your email) to your search entries. At least glide has no incentive to read your stuff because they are not ad revenue based. Google is at the heart of the privacy issue.
