In a previous career, I was able to use on-line survey's in order to predict the number of participants for an event. I could use the survey for just about anything from; meal choices, satisfaction levels, shirt/clothing sizes or an overall rating of "How we're doing", you name it, I could create a survey for it. It was great and very informative. However, I had to manually insert the responses into a spreadsheet, which usually came back to me via snail mail or email or sometimes a duplicate would cross my desk. 
Google docs has made this process so much simpler! The "Forms" option within a spreadsheet is an awesome feature to collect data from the participants of the survey. I love how I can use the data in charts, graphs, etc. and add it to a report for an amazing presentation aid. Very cool.
I plan on using Google forms for personal as well as professional reasons. Personal - I can send out an e-vite to a get together (for example). Professionally, I can create a survey and chart the responses and data immediately for any type of scenario.
Just another cool tool I can use in a future endeavor!
