TechSoup recently posted its 2nd annual Web Usage Survey. Interestingly, the tool use that increased the most was subscription to RSS feeds. 26.1% of users reported that they subscribe to RSS feeds, which represents a 19% increase over last year. The survey also found that although last year more people were using social web tools for their personal use than professional, that is changing:

• 50% of respondents reported that they participate in an online event and or training for their professional lives which represents an 11% increase over last year.

• 40.4% of respondents reported that they read an online journal or blog in their professional lives which represents a 13% increase over last year.
• 9.7% of respondents reported writing their own blog for work which is a 2.5% increase over last year.
• 21.3% of respondents reported that they subscribe to an RSS feed for their work which is an 8% increase over last year. Perhaps even more importantly 20% of respondents reported that they read from an RSS reader another 8% increase.
• 15.5% of respondents reported that they use social networking tools for their work which represents a 7.4% increase over last year.
