   Great announcement of this tool! It’s the first I heard of it, and your post certainly gave me the gist of it. Thanks!

   Hi Alan,

   Found your blog using “google survey tool” keyword. I just discovered the Presentation feature this week and had heard about the Survey tool, but couldn’t recall how to set it up. This was helpful.

   My readers have been giving me great reviews using the Presentation tool (which is like Power Point). They say it helps them better absorb the training due to the interaction required). You can see how I used tool on my blog at http://davidlovelace.com/online-joint-ventures-explained/

   Thanks again,
   Dave

   Hi Alan,
   Thanks for the quick overview. Just want to point out that the Wufoo outgoing link actually connects to Survey Monkey. I’m putting together a blog post on survey tools, and will include a link to this post when it is published. Thanks,
   Debra

   Your description is no longer accurate: it is now done as New Document – Form, easy peasy (& free!)

    Hi!
    I found your post useful. Thanks.
    Could you help me dealing with this tool?
    I’m making my paper to university. My survey is only for police officers, and I do not want to invite anyone to fill the form I made, I simply not allowed, cos the departement want to keep them anonim for me.
    Is there other way to gather data or only this e-mail invited?
    Please, help!

    I’m pretty sure any of the tools mentioned in the post can be used to create anonymous surveys. Somehow, the subjects (police officers in your case) need to get access to the survey link, but that can be done without sending individual emails.

    Good luck

    I think Google docs is a great way to quickly and easily collect data from a variety of sources. It can also be used for basic simple surveys which for most DIY’ers will suffice. Wouldn’t recommend it for business applications though but great for students, community groups or non-for profits. I just had a quick run through so I could get a feel for the process and have documented it here if you want to have a look. http://www.rockresearch.co.nz/blog/2009/09/01/using-google-forms-for-online-market-research/

    Hi Alan,

    Can some one see who has answered what? I mean the coordinator who has posted this survey, can he/she know who has written what?
