Google Labs has just released Google Spreadsheets (I’ll call it GSpread henceforth) for beta testing. With Google behind this product, I jumped at the opportunity to sign up for an invitation.

GSpread being a web-based application is an alternative to desktop based spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel or Open Office’s Calc. GSpread is free to use but you will need to have an Internet access. If you require an offline copy of your spreadsheets, you can either download it as a comma separated value (CSV) or as an Excel (XLS) file.

I obtained my GSpread invitation from Google approximately 8 hours after signing up. I immediately accessed GSpread and did a quick test run. As you can see from the inset picture, GSpread has all the basic functionalities built into it. There are no macros or charts available but I love the idea that my spreadsheets will travel with me wherever I go (provided there is an Internet access, of course).

If you so wish to share your spreadsheets, you can do so by simply specifying the email address of the intended recipient. Collaborations of spreadsheets are made easier as Google has built in a chat function too. I need not worry about hard drive crashes or power blackouts as Google stores the files for me. Talk about free!

Now, GSpread is released as a limited test application, meaning that it can handle only a limited number of users. If you want to test drive Google Spreadsheets, click here, quick!

Great news for webmasters! A new forum is in town; dedicated to stalking out expired domains with traffic and resell hard found treasures to the market. You will realise that SiteSales is going to be a great buddy because everyday, about 1 million domain names expires. Imagine you yourself sifting through that 1 million domain names in search for quality expired domain names.

Some webmasters prefer brand new domain names but expired domain names have their good point too; that they already have backlinks and maybe some traffic if you are lucky. Some of these domain names may also be brandable and some have low to mid PRs.

Our goal here at sitesales.info is to constantly monitor dropped domains and scout out those that are already (sic) established and register them. We then sell them back to potential or established webmasters, based on their stats at the time of the sale. You will find that our prices are very low compared to what you are getting, though in some instances we might feature some super premium domains selling at slightly (sic) higher prices. ~ SiteSales.info

Since SiteSales is new, they are offering a free PR5 domain. Yes, you heard it right; a FREE PR5 domain. Now, go get your treasures.
