Data Gathering with Google Spreadsheets

February 9th, 2008 by Phil

Google has added a new feature to its online spreadheet. Simple polls and surveys to be conducted by email or through web forms with the results saved in a spreadsheet.

Holiday Reading via kwout

The forms are easy to create and easy to complete. There is no authentication, which means that the same respondant can complete the form multiple times. This is not suitable for high stakes applications, or where identity issues are a concern, but it’s fine for simple data gathering, fun polls, suggestions boxes, guestbooks, ad listings etc.

Feel free to complete the sample survey on Holiday Reading.

About Loosing Site

Putting your business on-line is no longer about setting up a website and having an “enquiries” address. Reputation, branding, research, service delivery and marketing extend into social networks and social media sites. Web tools are supplementing or replacing desktop applications, while the lower costs and expanding features of mobile devices are making ubiquitous access an affordable reality. We collaborate with colleagues that we've never met in person and inform our opinions with custom data feeds.

Loosing Site describes these changes; analysing trends, signposting resources and providing in-depth reviews and tutorials.
