Nenest provides more features. It has many pre-programmed controls for input fields, such as email, currency number, ID number, address, phone number, rich text editor etc.

Its rich text editor is really nice. You can build Word like document, and directly insert local pictures.

And many more, check there web site: http://www.nenest.com

There is another online forms builder out there called The Blue Form (http://www.theblueform.com).
It features an AJAX style form builder as well as the ability to assign approval workflows to the forms.
This makes it more of an online process automation / eforms workflow site rather than just a form builder.
It could be used in most office type environments to automate paper based processed. We are currently trailing it at the company where I work and the reception has been quite good.

There’s a more detailed description of Wufoo forms, screen captures, and a live data-entry form with required field validation at http://oakleafblog.blogspot.co.....-form.html. The post also compares Wufoo features with InfoPath 2007 and Access 2007 forms.

Wufoo rules. I love it. It is possibly the best new Web 2.0 app I’ve seen this year.

I think many programmers (ahem, Andre de blah blah) are completely out of touch with the reality of the market.

Not everyone is a database programmer.

Not everyone knows HTML/XML/AJAX.

In fact, most people, surprise, are NOT programmers.

I do web design for small businesses and non-profits — I completely recognize that Wufoo could be in huge demand among my clients.

They’re teachers who want to reach out to their students, they’re grandparents who want to get in touch with their fellow church goers, they’re pastry chefs looking for ideas, landlords reaching out to tenants, and so on.

Wufoo is the perfect solution for the small businesses - the non-profits, schools and so many other places that can’t afford overpaid IT

Bravo to Wufoo for an incredible web app! You guys rock.

I’ve been beta testing this since there first round of private testers, I’ve helped find and squash a fair amount of bugs and I can tell you from experience these developers are VERY OPEN to your suggestions. See a better way to do something? Suggest it. See something that is a little confusing? Suggest it. If you think the pricing policy is unreasonable than mention that as well. As for the site being down, …give them a break. Tech Crunch goes down sometimes too…does that make TC poorly run/prepared also? It happens, get over it.

I would think the traffic load is due more to the DIGG effect.

What is this fad of websites that let you “build forms”. All of a sudden we need a ton of form builders?

Excel, Access and IT departments have long filled this need, and, if you want a serious form-building app look at InfoPath. Its far beyond anything this little “Web 2″ toy can do.

When will people learn that building “applications” in AJAX and HTML is just not efficient. Whats so special about intellisensed boxes and drag and drop? We’ve had this forever, it just hasn’t been in HTML. We should be moving back to the desktop shortly enough when people realize “Ajax” is unmaintainable — its the swinging pendulum of computer science.

I first heard of ParticleTree.com through DustinDiaz.com, a Yahoo developer and great resource, and again when researching the lightbox javascript lib. After reading ParticleTree, I stumpled onto Wufoo.com. This site is a great example of Web 2.0, and almost pushes it too far with all the geewiz.

Another thing I like about the site is it’s built on Prototype, JSON and Script.alico.us

Great Job.

Michael said… “I didn’t think that a service to build your own online forms sounded very exciting”

Anyone who’s done web development of the “for a friend” nature knows this is one of the biggest nightmares. Your local church/school/community group is always going to end up wanting to add small forms or surveys to their sites. And if you don’t want to have to deal with the IT of each one every time, this is a great option. Ryan Merket also brings up a great point about smaller firms with big data dreams and small IT budgets.

Wufoo is a fantastic product - an incredible (and appropriate) use of AJAX, a well designed interface, a smart focused product… if they’re having launch issues, let’s cut them some slack!

I think it’s a great product. Creating forms online has been an IT nightmare for most. The use of Ajax to improve the UX is also excellent. Good luck to these guys.

To all of the sketpics. There is a HUGE market for small to medium market research firms who do online polling on a contract basis for LARGE fortune 500 companies. Most of these smaller companies cannot afford to hire an IT / Web Developer at 60-80k a year - so having a site like this, with easy to make forms, and exportable Excel files will be a huge asset to them.

Now, the only real trick is marketing to those small market research firms…..

Is the AJAX worth it? I use the CMS Drupal to build websites most days and there is a free module you install to create forms, just like Wufoo. It’s integrated with your site which allows you to track users and has 90% of the features (including CVS, Excel etc…). The only thing that is lack is the nice AJAX interface. Is that really worth it? Not to me. Too bad, as this is an awesome product.

So you must have some kind of a specia account because free accounts are limited to 100 entries a month and you already have 942?

Having just used the app I agree it is slick and easy to get started.

However, my main concern is this (from a business point of view):

If web marketers and market research firms are going to use this, will they still not have to hire a professional developer to actually connect the data received through the forms (e.g. to a database of registered users) to make sense of it?

Using csv files is fine for a small set of users, but with 10,000+ submissions, cutting-n-pasting the data between spreadsheets & databases simply becomes unmanageable.

If all you want is a simply poll or a similar basic form, then there are already good services such as Zoho Polls (which is free).

Is there a sound business model here?

Ease of use is very high with Wufoo… But it got me thinking, I’ve been meaning to check out Zoho Creator. Wow! For the price (free) Zoho is hard to beat and it looks as capable at creating easy forms with database back ends as Wufoo.

Just my $.02
