From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The correct title of this article is iRows. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
iRows was a web-based spreadsheet in beta with a GUI similar to the traditional desktop-based spreadsheet applications, such as Microsoft Excel and OpenOffice.org. It was shut down on 31 December 2006 after it was announced that its two founders were hired by Google.[1][2]
iRows used Ajax and XML. It was described as an example of a "Web 2.0" system.
iRows supported conventional spreadsheet features functions, value formatting and charts and added web oriented spreadsheet capabilities like collaboration (multiple people using a shared spreadsheet, sending a spreadsheet as a link instead of an attachment and ability to publish spreadsheets on other web pages (e.g. blogs).
