Google Spreadsheet
Google Spreadsheets can now be officially used to hold survey data. You will just need to click on the Share tab and pick the new “to fill out a form†option*. You can then define multiple choice (MCQ) or free-style questions, and invite people to answer these questions. Alternatively you can link to a public questionnaire like this one. The answers will be written into your Google Docs spreadsheet file in real-time. Google says they’ve been using the forms feature internally for signups, surveys and more. Isn’t this an awesome feature?
As Google’s blog post on this explains, there’s also an iGoogle gadget keeping track of your latest forms. And as Google Spreadsheet files offer an RSS feed – at Publish -> More publishing options – it may be possible to plug the polls feature into other tools, like a blog sidebar gadget.
