Where's The World's Biggest Spreadsheet?
from the quite-a-challenge dept
A business intelligence company has decided to make a point about how many companies track important data by spreadsheet by running a contest to find the world's biggest spreadsheet. Of course, if a company is keeping all sorts of proprietary information in such a spreadsheet, I wonder how open they are to sending it off to some random company. The winning entry will be judged on "physical size, business use, technical complexity, and longevity". The prize isn't much, though, as the winner receives only "fame" and CD player or portable DVD player.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
