Google says its project will help users to share information
Internet search engine Google has released a web-based spreadsheet application, on a limited test basis.

California-based Google said its free, web-based application can be shared by up to ten users simultaneously.
The dominant stand-alone spreadsheet is Excel from Microsoft, and Google's move could put the two on collision course.
