Use Google Spreadsheet as a database - 2C


There are no 2A or 2B in the series; only 2C for ‘my two cents worth’.  It was both unsurprising and surprising to be followed on Twitter by Datawunder (website) of Switzerland after posting part-2.
It seems Datawunder have a wonderful cloud computing, collaboration enabled solutions based on MS Excel (or Spreadsheet based) which enables visual presentation of data, filtering and social-datamining.

(Datawunder has disappeared : October 2012)
It was not surprising for 2 reasons:
  • that such an innovation has been already thought out and is being ventured commercially
  • that my own posts reach so far and wide;  I knew @maxmadrasi catches the attention of many people; the problem is in retaining their interests.  As this blog is about everything under the sun and not specialised, people soon lose interest and unfollow.
  • :-/
It was surprising for 2 reasons:
  • that a Swiss company is ‘on its toes’ on a Saturday night.  Holy Cow! What will it be next?  A mademoiselle strugglling on a Sunday? Oh Moi!
  • that no Indian company has tied up with Datawunder as franchisee to skim their own 2 Cents (more like 2 Dollars)
  • :-P

Let’s get back on the subject with Part-3.
For the record, I don’t have any connection or dealing with Datawunder.

  1. Hi, i am the inventor of Datawunder.com Love your smart article ;-)

    "that a Swiss company is ‘on its toes’ on a Saturday night." Olala. We automate some social media processes. Cannot handle all things alone...

    I work still on Datawunder.com The actual state is not my favourite. I have some great ideas how to make the best of the visualization engine. But i need some developers or more time...

    Wish you the best!

    1. Hi Falk, I did like the visualization engine and think that it has a lot of potential.

      Thank you for the nice words too - this is second sweet thing from Swiss in a week. A friend returned after performing (Tamil Cinema Songs) in Geneva for Indian - Tamils settled over there, and brought me some of those famous Chocolat. Love them!

      Liked the Alprose Gianduja, Vollmilch and HaselNusse (but Zartbitter wasn't to my taste)

      :-)
      Good Luck to you!
