WikiCalc is the latest spreadsheet software from Dan Bricklin, the creator of the first spreadsheet, VisiCalc. WikiCalc, no suprise given its name, is a social spreadsheet application (wiki meet spreadsheet). I saw him give his WikiCalc demo last night in Boston during the Web 2.0 Technologies session he and I presented at Gilbane. From a feature perspective, what impressed me most was its ability to link cells to live services (such as stock prices), but its most distinguishing feature when comparing it to Google Spreadsheet and Zoho is that it isn’t a hosted service, so you own your data.
