Google's summary looks like this: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewanalytics?formkey=dDBXako....

The form for that sample is here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDBXako0djZq...)

And here's the response page: http://spreadsheets.google.com/formResponse?formkey=dDBXako0....



I was not aware you could do that! Here's the link!

That's really cool, thanks.

It would be cool if Google had an option for strictly numeric fields, and then auto-calc averages and distribution graphs etc. Without that restriction input, there is a curation problem, e.g. ages "19-30".

But google doesn't make any money from this, so it's hard for them to iterate as quickly as (e.g.) one of us could. I guess the deeper problem is: is there a revenue model for simple survey generation?

There's Wufoo http://wufoo.com/gallery/templates/surveys/business-demograp... (a YCer, no less). I'm sure they'd do a better job, but they won't let you get started without signing up. Google's little form tool is disrupting these guys, albeit at the very low end.


Cool that we have some results, but the display of the age and wage values seems simply to be a list. Is that normal? Having read another response, I guess it is.

I assume you'll be doing your own analysis as well and will deal with the problem in the summary you post.

And I'm finding this interesting - thanks.


Wow, are there actually females reading HN?


OK. You've gotten that out of your system.

Now go read this: http://xkcd.com/322/ and go back to Reddit.
