Google has been at again. Releasing new cool stuff to make our lives easy. Maybe this is old news for you as the tool was release just about a week ago but this is first time that I got ot look at it.

Here is how you create your own custom form with Google Docs

1. Log into your Google Account
2. Go to http://docs.google.com and click new spreadsheet
3. From there Name your worksheet something and save it.
4. Then go to share and you will see a link that says "invite people to fill in a form"
5. Create your form and then either email it to people or frame it in on your site using the URL provided.

This is the page you go to after you fill out the form. Google allows you to edit the text but that is about it. Will be awesome when they allow you to direct to another page on your website!
