Geoblogosphere survey!
Hi everyone in the geoblogosphere,
I'm scheduled to give a talk in a couple of weeks (at the Geological Society of Washington) entitled "Rise of the Geoblogosphere."
With the talk, I would like to give a comprehensive overview of the geoblogosphere as it stands today, including data about who is blogging, where they're blogging from, when they're blogging, why they're blogging, what they're blogging about, and what they think about this whole blogging deal.
To acquire this information, I've put together a short web-based survey using the "Survey Monkey" service. It's only 10 questions, and shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to do. By participating, you'll be helping create an accurate census of the geoblogosphere's current state, and I will publish the results of the survey here within a couple of weeks.
I will need all responses by Monday, September 15. Please help spread the word by linking to this page (or to the survey itself) from your blog. (Not everyone reads my blog, but maybe they read yours.)
UPDATE (9/11): I've gotten 39 responses as of Thursday morning (only one new addition in 48 hours). There are a more geoblogs out there than 39... If you're a geoblogger, please take the survey sometime this week.
Thanks for participating,
Callan

Awesome. I went ahead and took the survey, as well as posted about it on my blog. I look forward to hearing about the results.
A cool thing you might be able to do after your presentation (and providing you use something like PowerPoint to give it), is upload it to http://www.slideshare.net/ to share it.
Good idea, Dave. Thanks.
I was thinking about putting my graphs & maps on the blog here, but I'll do the slideshare thing as well.

Participated and posted about on the Lost Geologist. I'm curious about the results. :)
Callan, with respect to your 25 respondents (maybe it's increased by now) - do we need to do some more announcements?
Silver Fox,
I think we're good at this point. If participation doesn't continue to rise this week, I'll send a form letter out to other not-yet-participated geobloggers.

Callan ... I can post an announcement in a couple days too if that helps.
Brian,
Cool idea -- spread the announcement repetitions out over several days.
Go for it!
