Research RSS usage
This MSR research examining some aspects of RSS usage came across my desk recently. Given that I'm often tempted to believe that my own RSS usage is in some way representative, it's interesting to see how hundreds of others are using it.
While I found all of the questions interesting, this one surprised me the most:
-
Do you share or save articles (or links to articles) that you found via your
RSS reader? If so, how?

I would not have guessed that the percentage of people saving via social bookmarking services would have been so high.
