Step 1 - Create the Google Form
The first step is to create a Google Form from within Google Docs. You can use form template or survey template. I created a form template as follows:
Step 2 - Share
Go to Google Docs, click the document you just created. Then Action->Share->Share setting->anyone with this link can view, you can see the address for anyone to view in popup
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An205fRvYTLAdDktY09KTTE3Q1FoNG9RNTJXakxuWkE&hl=en&authkey=CNjy6Rw
This is a spreadsheet and you may need to let others input in nice web form.
Step 3 - Find the key for view and user enter data
Go to Google Docs, click the document you just created. View page source and search formkey and you can find something like this
"formkey":"dDktY09KTTE3Q1FoNG9RNTJXakxuWkE6MQ"
Your form address for user enter the data will be:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDktY09KTTE3Q1FoNG9RNTJXakxuWkE6MQ
When user enter data, you can see all entries in Step 2 URL (Spreadsheet)

function buildMultipleChoice($group, $heading, $options)
{
echo '<div>' . $heading . '</div>';
echo '<ul style="list-style-type: none;">';
foreach ($options as $option)
{
echo '<li><input type="radio" name="entry.' . $group . '.group" value="' . $option . '">';
echo $option;
echo '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
