grub's Journal: Spreadsheet Darwinism with Google

I have a Google spreadsheet called "Unintelligent Design" to which I'm freely giving edit access.

The reason? I'm wondering what will happen with no controls over deletion, editing or content. Will people leave crappy poetry? Goofy graffiti? Countless goatse links? Will whistleblowers from Roswell surface? Will those who hate our freedom use it against us?!

You can view, edit, modify or delete cells. Think chmod 777!

Go for it! Mail grieder at gmail.com or put your address in this JE for access.

NB: You'll need a gmail account, mail me for an invite. Once you get your spreadsheet invite in gmail, logout and back in. Once logged back in click the link to share the spreadsheet. From then on just go to http://spreadsheets.google.com Note that these invites are a 'backway' into Google's spreadsheet service, no need to go to their signup page, very much like a gmail invite.

It's http://spreadsheets.google.com/ [google.com] not http://spreadsheets.goggle.com/ [goggle.com] (popup city). Thought google got hacked. =)

It was funny because my first thought was "they finally hacked Google." =)

On the funny side years ago (like 10) I was doing tech support for a State of Utah group when a woman called up with a Mac problem. Since it was a fairly new machine and she was getting a "sad mac" (can remember the code but it was bad) on boot I told she most likely had a hardware error and to call Apple Support at 1-800-SOS-APPL. She called 1-800-S0S-APPL (five-six-five not the correct five-zero-five) and got a porn line. That poor teacher. =)
