confusing result page!!!

Most used stuff first... does ANYONE know what ridefinder is? :)

I think it would be better to remove the scroll from the iframe. It's not healthy / useful.

I suggest to show percents in the results. I think the list is too long, the APIs shouldn't be included, neither mobile versions (if you use Google Maps, the medium is not important).

Jeff – Ridefinder shows you current taxi and shuttle locations in different cities. It's currently availible for 16 locations.

I agree with you, Ionut.

Philipp seems to have removed the scroll.

yeah I suggest mapping onto a 4/5 matrix.. where each dot represent colur codes of red(hourly), pink(daily), blue(Weekly) and then cluster these results together on each square.. of the matrix.. this will give more visual

to get a complete view, one needs a single view..if I scroll down then Its difficult to compare "this" with "that"

the method collection is perfect..simple and just keep choosing..

how about total total respondants also...

Update: Scrollbar is gone, results table slightly reformatted.

Pd, do you know a sample image on some site to illustrate this?

digg it:
http://digg.com/tech_news/Survey_How_Often_Do_You_Use_These_Google_Products

to get a better accuracy in the result

I should add: you can hover over the green bars to get the percentage value for this row.

Google Mini???Wow.

Mostly "Never, Basically".

Why do you use the height attribute of the iframe ? There's a lot of blank space.

Update 2: Just got rid of some blank space :D

Radio buttons to select use would be MUCH quicker, less clicks.

Philipp, this is what I mean .. this is manually cooked version in terms of service denisity and user sataturation points., within a service cube

Gotcha. Let's see, I separate data from output so I can render different tables later :)

(Update 3: Changed the colors of the result view.)

I'm always surprised how little Google Groups is used

Great survey idea. One suggestion: I had several services that I had used at some point in time, but not regularly anymore. But there is no option to choose since I have used them but not Never? Confusing to say the least.

"Not anymore" would be an option

I have been running couple days ago a similar survey. (Not as full featured as Philipp's, just a simple one)

http://googled.wordpress.com/2006/07/27/google-products-survey-cast-your-vote/

phil, you forgot google reader! or atleast i don't see it.

don't think it's fair to pit something like web accelerator against something like maps.

if you install the web accelerator, you're pretty much using it anytime you're browsing on an internet connection (unless you reach down and shut it off).

so using web accelerator 'hourly' is much different from using maps 'hourly', for example.

also what happened to Google's "reader" (feed aggregator) and "dashboard widgets for mac" ?

finally it might be interesting to list specialized searches within web search like movies search or music search. although the survey is already pretty long already.

how about breaking it into categories like "web services", "software/installs", "mobile", "hardware" "api" etc. ?

Here's a (almost complete?) list of Google products
http://www.google.com/permissions/guidelines.html

> phil, you forgot google reader! or atleast i don't see it.

Good catch! Added (at 120 votes).

> phil, you forgot google reader! or atleast i don't see it.

Added Google Writely as well.

I wish I could go back and change my vote for Reader – you added it while I was doing the survey. If you could add a 'Hourly' vote for it from me please. I 'Never' use Writely though.

Does using the site: operator a lot from firefox's search bar count as using Advanced Web Search, or do you have to actually go the the page? Cause the first one is Daily, and the second Never, Basically.

nice survey addition to the blog! it could come useful in the future.

The results for Google Answers make me sad.

I'm quite surprised Google Desktop isn't a top five (at this point). Very informative,thanks!

Good Survey! Nice graph :P

Missed one: Google Co-op

Missed another one: "Google in your langugage" – https://services.google.com/tcbin/tc.py

Missed one really important: Google Sitemaps

Is Google Code a Product?

where the hell did you find google writely?

Neat idea. More traction on Talk and Reader than I expected.

Good idea, Philipp

but don't forget that your blog is read only by webmasters or "google fans".
The average man have never heard of 90% of theses services ;-)

> The average man have never heard of 90% of theses services ;-)

I was hoping this could be on Digg for a more "averaged" crowd. But if you look at the "unknown" column you can see not everyone knows all the products. I've had email feedback of at least 1 person who only knew 6 products (and is now curious about the rest).

> Missed one really important: Google Sitemaps

This would've been a good addition. I've now stopped updating the form so that it won't be skewed by too many latecomers...

<< More traction on Talk and Reader than I expected.

True, but the sample is biased (towards die-hard Google fans/users).

Blog is becomign slow because of the survey implementation. Better put on a different page.

How about Google Bookmarks (http://www.google.com/bookmarks)?

<<How about Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks)?

Google Bookmark is integrated into Google Personal Search and that it already covered.

What about Google Firefox? :-D j/k

Seriously, great survey Philipp! Has this been dugg? I'll be checking back to see if you implement that matrix for the results. Very interesting stuff!

55 services are listed. 55 ways to have fun with Google!

hmmm... someone didn't know about google image search, wow!

Excellent survey Philipp. I do like your results page also.

Hi,
Interesting survey. I must admit I didn't know about 80% of items listed. I'll be trying some of them though.

Thanks,
H

I think it would have been entertaining / telling if you had added in a red herring option or whatever it's called... something that is NOT a Google service, just to see if people were paying attention :)

hehe, what a great idea!

Adam's idea is great indeed, maybe Philipp in a month or two (if you are on a stronger server ;-)) -> or maybe ask google to host your survey!!!) you can repeat this survey with the red herring option?

I was *this* close to add Google Guess. :)

Hey Philipp being *close * only works in the game horse shoes :)-!!!

yeah but Adam's idea is great!!

What surveys do is add two same items phrased differently. So they'll ask...

1. Do you like blond women?
2. Do you like to swim?
3. Do you like Pamela Anderson's hair color?
4. Do you like water sports?

So, 1 + 3, and 2 + 4 are the same :)

but I would still like to see an overview of a metrics like how I proejcted here

http://blogoscoped.com/forum/60041.html#id60062

I seen this type of harverst in an enterprise BIS report and found it very easy to consume and narrow down thoughts to emergent areas or distress areas!!

Thanks, Philip, that was a good idea indeed. It slowed me down that I had no option between 'never' and 'monthly' --that's a huge gap (next time could be 'less frequently' which gives some scope for those services that are currently not used). Oh, and I gissed the 'Google Guess' gimmick, goo. :)

Philipp: Your Google Tools list and data are a great resource. It inspired me to create this site:

Trust I did your research justice.

I am resubmitting because the forum does not like the word "to"
so to get to my link you will need to close the space between t and o.
