Review on Magic Spreadsheet by Jorge Kehayas
Magic Spreadsheet is a tool that allows you to easily create spreadsheets from websites and Twitter accounts.
After signing up I was given a live example of how to use it. It was pretty straightforward. Within minutes I had a nice spreadsheet full of data about my blog posts. A couple of clicks later and I had another spreadsheet full of data about my twitter followers. As an additional feature it lets you scrape any URL (or image) and auto uploads them to a google sheet, which can be edited if necessary. You can then import the spreadsheet into Wordpress to edit it further. I like this because there are so many other free tools available such as Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, they aren't always useful when doing web development. However MagicSpreadsheets has some very good features including being cross-platform and providing automated updates from your site/twitter account without having to do anything manually yourself.
- Easy to use
- Very good for people who want their own private dashboard for viewing stats and analyzing data
- Can make graphs from raw data
- Not always accurate
- The website sometimes slows down after logging in and scraping a lot of data
- Not sure if you can scrap URLs on Tumblr or Twitter.
