Oh! I’m sorry that I have forgotten to make the spreadsheet public readable. You should now be able to load it.

Actually EditGrid was publicly available since April this year. I think what EditGrid will distinguish from other online spreadsheet service is that it’s more intended as an online data management platform rather than yet another web offlice. That means rather than an excel clone, it’ll focus on some new ways of manipulating data online. Including posting spreadsheet data to blog, fetching live data from web, allow other programming languages such as PHP/Perl/Python/Java to access the spreadsheet data through its API, and a real-time-update feature that shows the most updated cell values whenever some other people/machine changed it. These are all being quite infeasible in the old days of desktop excel.

It’s quite interesting that some people here (http://www.ogleearth.com/2006/08/turn_online_col.html, http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/549532/an/0/page/0) is using EditGrid to store location information, which then feed into Google Map / Earth for displaying a route, without needing to write any piece of code. As EditGrid have real-time-update, whenever someone change the location information in the spreadsheet, the route in Google Map will be updated immediately.

So EditGrid’s doing more than a spreadsheet application.

I’d never heard of Edit Grid before, it looks interesting. How does it compare against other online spreadsheets?

Now that I too am in the frozen tundra, I have a vast knowledge of Canada that I wouldn’t trade for all the world. Why? It provides great fodder for my blog. ;)

I can’t see how to pull out the docket number from the subject and use that as the destination folder in the Outlook rules.
