Collaborative Spreadsheet Art

4 people worked together simultaneously on a single Google Docs spreadsheet. Each cell in the 100 row x 186 col spreadsheet was filled using 18 different colors. The entire process was captured in time-lapse.

You can get the original spreadsheet used in this video and learn how it was created at: http://docs.google.com/holiday

Create your own spreadsheet art and post a video response! We'd love to see what you create.

Thanks for all of the positive comments (and video responses, too!).

Music by Richard Mapes, a Google software engineer.

Google owns YouTube. So, if you hate Google so much, why are you here?

I could imagine this becoming a too many cooks spoil the broth situation quite quickly... but great if it works!

how can i protect a range of cell from deletion or edition from collaborators, only owner can edit or delete from that range

The music was also used in one of Jay Chou's song, hope this helps..

GoogleDocs has really become one of my favorite tools online; it just makes collaboration a lot easier when you need something simple that doesn't take effort to get to. Awesome video!

@ladbrey Uh, is it made from a series of premade clips? I heard segments of this, if not the entire thing, on an Official Xbox Magazine Demo Disk numbered in the 50s. I remember this music from years ago.

@Moosezorz In the description, it says that the music is by Richard Mapes, a Google software engineer.
