via Google Operating System by Ionut Alex Chitu on May 14, 2008
Google Spreadsheets added an option in the sharing dialog that allows anyone to view or edit the spreadsheet just by knowing the URL. Until now, you had to send an invitation URL that contained a secret code and the people you invited had to login using a Google account. If you click on the Share tab and enable "Anyone can edit this document WITHOUT LOGGING IN", your spreadsheet becomes a wiki...

Review: Hardy Heron converts an Ubuntu skeptic
via Linux.com :: Features by (author unknown) on May 09, 2008

Sigh -- it's rough when you have to change a long-standing opinion.
