I recently designed a short Twitter Survey Usage Survey of Geo Technology Professionals. 

The following is a summary of close to 100 responses - thanks to all who took part (note, you are welcome to still take part in the survey to build a larger sampling please). Some of the interesting results I thought were that a majority of people who took the survey are using twitter for business although for many, their company does not support their twitter usage and many companies are doing little to promote their corporate Twitter or establish corporate policies regarding usage. Many individuals who use Twitter are also on LinkedIn yet a majority of companies have created their own facebook presence. Enjoy the findings and feel free to provide any comments or suggestions for a follow-up survey.
