Embracing and Extending Microsoft Office

ReadWriteWeb writes "In an interview with ex-Excite founder and current JotSpot CEO Joe Kraus, Richard McManus explores the Web Office and how JotSpot aims to 'embrace and extend' some of Microsoft's office products. Kraus explains how JotSpot went about extending Excel's basic functionality in three ways: sharing spreadsheets, every row is a wiki page, and the ability to mashup data from your own hard drive with data on the Web. Although JotSpot won't challenge Microsoft's office software supremacy with a web-based office suite, expect Google to rise to the challenge of building an interconnected suite of networked office applications."
