Nice video from Google explaining the forms function in Docs‘ spreadsheets, which I have found my self starting to use rather a lot.

Thanks for sharing Dave.
Very nice, especially the ‘embed the forms in your website’ bit. Should be cool for those non-Gmail users, or those suffering #Gmail_firewall_fail
I’ll be looking for a way of playing with that – when you figure out a simple use case then let me know and I will try and hack something together, maybe you can then go and and make those input forms, or the results WP friendly.
