Looking to create a form for your website or to collect data from someone remotely? Google has added a new feature to their Google Docs that allows you to create forms and automatically insert data into a Google Spreadsheet. Your users will not even need a Google account to submit info, the form you create is one that anyone can access just like any web form. Just start with a spreadsheet and create your fields, then click the share button. Select the third option called “to fill out a form NEW” and follow the on screen prompts. Google forms give you plenty of options for creating your form such as text, paragraph text, multiple choice, check boxes, and lists. The great part is all your data ends up in a nice Google spreadsheet that you can easily export into any popular file formats such as Excel or a comma delimited field.

Here’s a quick review of each.
