Because of this particular blog entry at Digital Urban -- and because the YouTube video Digital Urban included no longer worked -- I looked on YouTube for more information and found a couple of really interesting "how-to" videos (see: http://youtube.com/results?search_query=Google+Spreadsheet+API&search_type= ).

The video that prompted the search is called "Google Visualization API on Google Spreadsheets" (see: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8EsFJu6p3P4 ) It's pretty impressive -- even I (non-user of spread sheets and non-techie) sort of get it.

For lots more, see also the Google Visualization API-- Google Code page (see: http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/ ).

I'm posting this mainly for the benefit of a couple of people near and dear to me. They might really get a kick most especially out of this YouTube google video, "Using Google Spreadsheets as a Database in the Cloud" (see: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rWCLROPKug0 ).
