Swirrl is a new online cloud computing service. It's main aim is to combine the power of a database and the flexibility of spreadsheets with the collaboration potential of a wiki. Swirrl helps your business organize all of its documents and data, so that your business runs more efficiently.

All of your data can be kept securely in one place, accessible from any computer on the internet. All information and data is searchable, and all revisions are kept so it doesn't matter if anyone makes a mistake, or you want to see how things looked in the past.

To use Swirrl, you don't need any involvement from an IT department or system administrator. Because Swirrl is a hosted web application, there is nothing to install and you can get started in a few minutes. You can use Swirrl from anywhere with an internet connection and it works on recent versions of major browsers (Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2+, Camino 1.5+, Safari 3).

They offer free accounts and you can cancel, upgrade or downgrade your account at any time. Only pay for what you need.

Your wiki's home page provides an overview of activities. You can easily access your favourite (bookmarked) items, and items that you or others have recently edited. The home page also provides a way to communicate with the rest of your team, and a way for us to communicate with you.

Text Pages are like normal wiki pages. With Swirrl's powerful WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) text editor, they're easy to edit to just how you want them. It's also easy to link to other pages both inside and outside Swirrl.

Structured data can be stored in Data Sets. A familiar spreadsheet-style editor allows you to quickly enter data, or you can import from a spreadsheet file on your computer. You can analyze your data using spreadsheet-style formulae. This is more than an online spreadsheet though: the clues you provide about your data, in the form of row and column headings, allows Swirrl to understand its structure, enabling some powerful searching and analysis.

Swirrl's search facilities make it easy to locate your information quickly. The search results are categorized into Text Pages and Data Sets, and you can organize and explore your data using tags.

Account administrators can add, edit and delete Users and Groups. Swirrl's permission system allows fine-grained access control for both viewing and editing: allow just individual users or groups, everyone in the wiki, or publish to the whole internet. You have full control, and it's easy to see what the current settings are.

Every time an item in Swirrl is saved, a new version is created. You can see who changed what when, and you can revert back to old versions if you change your mind about an edit (version tracking).
