    Very cool!  Boy, those are some interesting statistics. The Facebook one is really interesting. I am doing more and more work for promoting the blog on FB, and that place has been great for networking and getting feedback from the industry.
    One thing for next year's survey should  be to ask what smart phone or tablet do they use, and how much use does it get compared to their laptop. Because I have seen a dramatic increase in the use of mobile devices to read my blog. 
    I personally use mobile devices a lot for the job as well. Primarily to check emails and get news reports. But Facebook is on mobile as well, and lots of guys are using mobile devices in very interesting and useful ways out on contracts. Thanks for sponsoring the survey. -matt
