Excel Twitters 20080906

ByDebra Dalgleish

Thanks to the Republican National Convention, which was held at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, there were lots more Excel twitters than usual this week. The first twitter explains the problem. There were also many comments on the new Microsoft ad, featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld at Shoe Circus. Hidden among all these twitters were a few thoughts on life with Excel.

Bad Spelling

  • People: it’s “Xcel,” not “Excel.” Publicly traded utility, not spreadsheet application!

The Future. Delicious.

  • name two delicious MSFT software programs. Beyond excel it gets hard…
  • Two retirees eating churros doesn’t make Microsoft software suck less.
  • I don’t care what a bunch of silly tech blogs say, I liked the new Microsoft commercial.
  • Maybe the tagline for that spot should have been “Microsoft: A Company About Nothing”
  • Everyone is talking about how awful the Microsoft/Seinfeld ad is. I’m guessing then that it’s a resounding success.
  • If Microsoft’s brand message is, “We’re kind of old and a little confused about why we’re really here,” they succeeded.
  • Ok this Microsoft ad I love, mostly for the use of Gates’ mug shot for his discount card.
  • If Bill Gates is a PC, is Jerry Seinfeld a Commodore 64?
  • Were you confused? Microsoft explains Seinfeld-Windows TV ad, saying it was ‘just a ‘teaser’
  • Your ad strategy now is to force people to think of Bill Gates naked? “Vista: It’s better than Bill Gates naked.”

Life With Excel

  • OK Fall TV can begin – I have Cynthia Turner’s excel spreadsheet: Fall Broadcast 2008-09 Primetime Schedule
  • just rose to level 73 (medium wizard) in Microsoft Excel
  • I hit on the wrong key in Excel and it made the paper clip guy pop up. I didn’t want him so I closed it down and he winked at me.
  • Excel wastes trees… lots of trees…
  • I use a combo of excel, a pda and a moleskin to doodle, tally & track every inane little thing
  • Yes, Excel, I do want to keep this information on the clipboard so I can paste it into another application. THAT’S WHY I PUT IT THERE.
  • if you can’t figure it out in excel, it probably isn’t worth figuring out
