New: Forms added to the templates gallery

Friday, November 21, 2008

We've recently added a whole new section to the templates gallery for form templates. You'll find 13 new forms that cover a wide range of uses including personal health management, improving customer satisfaction and planning a party.
Here are three shining examples:

Training for a marathon? Check out the 'Running Log' template below. This will make getting into shape much easier.

Curious to know what your visitors think of your website? The 'Website Satisfaction and Feedback Survey' form provides companies a way to easily collect user feedback & improve satisfaction.

There's more to life than working out and working, like planning a party. With the holidays around the corner, the 'RSVP form for a Holiday Party or Event' form below will buy you a little more time.

I hope that you get a lot of use out of these new forms. Don't forget that you can either email the form to your respondents directly for them to fill out or embed your form into your website or blog to collect responses online.

Online petition for an organic farm at the White House

Monday, November 3, 2008

In early September, Daniel Bowman Simon and Casey Gustowarow visited Google in their modified double-decker school bus. Their bus is really two buses fused together with an organic garden on the roof. (The picture above shows our very own Jen Mazzon holding a cauliflower in front of the bus).
Daniel and Casey are leading a petition-based initiative to request that the next president plant an organic farm on the grounds of the White House. Their visit to Google was one stop in their cross-country drive in the bus. At Google, they had lunch with employees, including a Google chef. Daniel and Casey recently arrived in Washington, D.C., just in time for election day.
Everywhere they've gone, from farmers markets to truck stops, they carry a physical petition with them. They've also created an online version of their petition using a Google Docs spreadsheet form. Daniel tells us that they've collected over 1,500 online signatures so far using this form. Check out their online petition and then let us know in the comments of this post if you've used forms for your own petition or cause.Posted by: Andrew Chang, Marketing Manager
