If that's really the play, Hackpad isn't the right acquisition. The real value is in the sheets/excel space, and the knowledge of collaborative document editing doesn't naturally translate to spreadsheets (the general nature of edits are not linear)



Smiled when I saw your username. Looks like great work you guys are doing, hope you're able to help them out.


Is there anyone seriously pursuing the space? There's ethercalc but they don't seem to have much steam ...

EtherCalc was, is, and will remain a F/OSS infrastructure project, not a business enterprise.


I'd consider Smartsheet.com to be playing in that space.
