The charts are updated in real time and can also be editable. Amazing stuff: http://www.editgrid.com/site/learn/feature/publish The application is developed in Korea and the goal of the young developers was simply to build absolutely the best online spreadsheet solution ever.

And you can extend (Ctrl+Click and downside extension) the barack obama case to find many, many, many more politicians (more than you actually know) and many more information about them!

It definitely feels more like a tightly integrated suite and less of separate tools tied together, like the original Microsoft Office. This is what we get, as developers start adapting their work to the cloud environment and learn to take advantage of the natural benefits, instead of trying to recreate the same-old software in a more distributed environment.
