Software pioneer Bricklin tackles wikis

Software pioneer Bricklin tackles wikis | CNET News.com

In 1979, Bricklin released VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet for personal computers. Now he’s close to finishing the beta for WikiCalc, an open-source, browser-based collaboration tool that mimics the functionality of a spreadsheet while leveraging the technology of wikis, which let anyone, anywhere manipulate data across the Web.

Now this is really cool. Bricklin was one of the original creators of the spreadsheet and becasue he and his partners were not motivated by profit other companies like Lotus and MicroSoft have made millions…make that billions. So while I thought it was neat the he is involved with the Wiki Calc, I found it quite appropriate.
