At the last TIS meeting, Brenda Nix spent a few minutes on the ease of creating a form in a Google Docs spreadsheet. You can then send the form (NOT the spreadsheet) out via email and any user, GDocs or no, can respond to the form. Better yet, their results will be recorded into your spreadsheet upon their response. It took about 15 minutes to learn and looks to be a quick and easy way to collect small pieces of data from a group of users. The Google Docs team blogged about this feature upon its release last year. Give it a shot!
