Google Spreadsheets: FORMS??
You can now create forms that people can fill out easily using google docs. These forms gather the data into a google spreadsheet, which you can then modify like a normal spreadsheet.
I made one here, give it a shot!
If this iframe doesn’t work for you, do it here:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pPh9cjV4zyZVMAlhGvJbiPA
The information gets collected in the following spreadsheet:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pPh9cjV4zyZVMAlhGvJbiPA&hl=en
Although it appears at the moment that it’s not working as intended; When I try to allow this spreadsheet to be shared, I tick off a box that says: “Anyone can VIEW this document WITHOUT LOGGING IN at:” and then there’s the link I supplied above. When I paste that link into a new browser it’s asking me to log into google docs. Perhaps they are still working on this.
You can also embed the form into an iframe but it appears my bloggery software doesn’t enjoy doing that.
This is a very cool tool, that I will be using extensively to gather your opinions! Mwuahahhah. If only I could embed it…

I just used this thing for running a giant information scavenger hunt thing. It works surprisingly well, and it’s a hell of a lot easier to start with than SurveyMonkey.
