I hoped to prove we've got lots of Apple users reading the blog, but I was proven wrong by our small set of responders (35).

On what type of hardware are you reading this blog?

A few weeks back, we asked: Has the jump in gas prices changed where you spend your time?

Of 20 respondents, there was a surprisingly even distribution.

35% Yes, I spend more time closer to/at home.
35% No, where the locations where I go are about the same.
30% No, but I visit the more distant ones less frequently.

Next up, let's get to brass tacks. I recently wrote an editorial about moving to a Mac. More than one response suggested GIS people can't use Macs. So, let's see what those who visit this blog are using. Vote on the lower right hand side of our main page.

A few weeks ago we asked about APB readers' use of Twitter for communicating on geospatial topics. We had 51 responses.

0% - No, I don't send, but I do follow one or more Twitters on geo topics.
26% - Yes, I send messages and follow others who share geo topics.
34%- What are you talking about?
42% - Neither of the above, but I know about Twitter.

There was some discussion (here and on Twitter) when I commented that fewer people than I expected (some 80 when I wrote the post) were following the #where2008 Twitter thread. Thanks for the input; I welcome any other thoughts on how the geospatial community is using Twitter.

Next up: Who do you think is the top innovator in geospatial in 2008 so far? Vote on the lower right hand corner of the main page and feel free to leave comments to this post on why you think so.

To my amazement there are very few folks following the where2008 thread on Twitter. Just 70. Perhaps folks are all all on the backchannel IRC? (IRC channel #where2008 on irc.freenode.net)

I guess this is reinforcing my sense of Twitter use in our community which is confirmed, thus far, by the current poll.

Fifty readers answered our latest poll asking if you read corporate geoblogs.
