SMC Poll: RSS Consumption

I am researching RSS Readers and the various ways people consume information/lifestreams, and ran a quick poll on Twitter this past Tuesday. It turned up some interesting feedback with 170 responses coming in by posting time:

Nothing surprising from the first question, most people consume information while in the office, with in the living room a solid second.

The second question was more interesting to me – most folks working off laptops over desktops and a large percentage tracking feeds while on the go.

And then came the kicker – the largest percentage (35%) feel they are fighting a losing battle and fall into the ‘information overload’ category.

The last question was exported into an Excel spreadsheet (not a graph), so I need to cull that data and will try to post a follow up over the next week.

I kept the poll short and to a very focused audience, which I believe slightly skewed the results, but still found it valuable information and will play a key factor in my research paper (for private use, but will continue to post results on future polls here).

Thank you to everyone who participated in this poll.
