* ThinkFree Office is a commercial cross-platform application, that includes: Write (word processor), Calc (spreadsheet) and Show (presentation). The suite also has an iPod edition.
* ThinkFree Online is a free version of these applications that works similar to Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
* ThinkFree Server is "a web-based, server-hosted office suite which allows users to edit and create word documents, spreadsheets, and presentation files anytime, anywhere".
I think the most interesting ThinkFree component is the server edition, that could allow Google to create something like Google Search Appliance / Google Mini, or to enhance the two boxes. A server edition for Google Office will be much interesting for organizations, as they don't want to lose control over their information.
"ThinkFree chief Kang [Tae-jin] plans to take a flight to the United States this week, and he may meet with Google officials there to discuss a deal."
This would be sad for the users. I dont like the idea of browsing through Google linked sites, cause they will get very clear picture of my user behavior.
ReplyDeleteI hope their next move won't be on Wikipedia, Meebo or Box.net
I tried thinkfree. It's REALLY nice. I like it much better than Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
ReplyDeletethinkfree's UIs are much more friendlier and attractive compared to the plain and forever blue UIs of Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
Why doesn't someone come up with a way to
ReplyDeleteactually do something different with a spreadsheet? Like enable it be connected to live data with out writing any code?
Sheetster is close...
Hopefully there are other solutions like FlySuite.com
