I look forward to making use of this. Thanks for the heads up. This will be a great feature for community based non-profit organizations to conduct surveys with very little overhead.

The forms are embed-able, its just that you don't see an easy-to-click link yet. If you look at the HTML it's very simple.

You can only feel sorry for those other companies. However: After 5000 responses it seems the spreadsheet can't copy (according to daring fireball). And also it's not possible to click on the label of an answer to select it, which is a usability and probably accessibility issue that makes it harder to fill in the forms. But both of these niggles can be rectified in an update. Amazing day for the internet.

For example, for persons taking polls or making research work and need to accumulate information for statistical purposes. When I was in college, this required a lot of work and organization to recapitulate everything in Excel. I can think of a zillion ways this software can help me out. Thanks a lot!
