Old Poll, New Poll
Back in November (yes it's been a while!) we asked how important is it that a job candidate be familiar with more than one GIS product/platform. I'm please to report 82% of the 28 respondents put it in the required/valuable category. (Note that students! And, to be clear, this need not mean you pay someone to teach you a package. There are some great tutorials and free and open source software to explore!)
58% - Valuable; it's nice to have.
25% - Required; I won't hire the person.
18% - Not important; I don't even ask about it.
Next up: Which is your biggest challenge in doing your geo-related job? Vote in the lower right hand corner of the main page.

Old Poll, New Poll
Update: Actually set the new poll this time! Oops!
--- original post 11/19/098 ------------
A month ago we asked: What single factor besides pure functionality most influences your selection of a geospatial software app? With just 13 votes it's hard to take the results too seriously, but here they are:
Ease of Use/Interface - 62%
Data format support - 16%
Support for standards - 16%
Something else - 8%
Speed - 0%
Cross platform support - 0%
Extensibility - 0%
Print/output capability - 0%
On to the next poll: How important is it that a job candidate be familiar with more than one GIS product/platform? Vote in the lower right hand side of our main page.

Old Poll, New Poll
A few weeks back I did a very self-serving poll trying to get what/how many geo blogs readers of this blog frequent. My real goal: to figure out if I should "dupe" stories well covered elsewhere. The good news, even with a small sample of 28, is that most of you keep an eye on other blogs.
Results:
My regular geoblog reading habits best match:
65% A few select geoblogs
22% Planet Geospatial blogs plus other geoblogs
8% Just this blog
8% Planet Geospatial blogs
0% Read no geoblogs regularly

Old Poll, New Poll
A few week back we asked for your reaction to Cloud Computing. 83 people responded.
34% Don't know what it is.
26% Will be significant in geospatial.
23% Is not yet stable/secure enough for geospatial.
17% Is just a lot of hype.
2% No opinion.
I suppose that explains the very high hit rate for this post.

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).

A Mac or something from Apple 6%
Another type of hardware 95%
