Happy 30th Birthday VisiCalc, and Welcoming SocialCalc To The World

October 19 2009 08:30:00 AM Add/Read Comments [3]
Today is the 30th anniversary of the introduction of VisiCalc, the original spreadsheet program created by Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston.
Today also marks general availability of SocialCalc, the social spreadsheet from Socialtext.

Some of the key features include:
- Sheets can contain values from other sheets, even across workspaces.  This allows you to distribute the creation and sharing of data.
- Seamlessly integrate wiki pages (or people's profiles) inside spreadsheets
- Include values from spreadsheets (entire thing, ranges, or individual cells) in wiki pages



Imagine no longer having to email around spreadsheets as attachments, and suffer the huge thread of jumbled responses.
Imagine no longer wondering if you are looking at the most current version, unsure if someone else has already updated the numbers elsewhere.
Imagine no longer having to merge together multiple files from different people.

You can do all of this easily with SocialCalc.  Try it with your team today.
