  8. Yes, I did find forms easy to use. One trouble I had was that Google never saved my document. All the page said was "Saving...", but it never finished so I had to keep the theme plain because it would not let me change it. Many different organizations could use this feature. Companies could use it for surveys, along with businesses to help make their customers happier.

  9. 1.) Yes, I did find the forms easy to use.

    2.) The only thing I had trouble with was embeding the codes, but I soon figured out how to do that.

    3.)Companies could use this feature to get feedback from their customers, to see what percentage of them liked thier product. Then make changes to the product to make it more efficient and likeable.

  10. 1. Yes i found the forms simple to use, because of your step by step directions.

    2. The only problems I had was whether or not the embeded code should have been with a line or the actual post.

    3. Companies could use this for instant feedback and also to see if the comsumers liked the companies product.

    4. I like that igoogle has this feature. I think that it's easy to acess on any computer so that you can use it in school and for a company.

  11. 1. Initally yes.
    2. The form failed to save properly and when I attempted to reopen the form for editing. The form was lost and I was left with a basic spreadsheet.
    3. It would allow for easy data collection and personal surveying.
    4. Once all the bugs are eliminated from cloud computing, it will definetely become common place in the workplace and school.
