Last poll received little interest, out of the 38 responders, votes have been mostly evenly distributed, with this to note: only 7% said geospatial inroads on the web exceeded their expectations while 28% said the industry could have been much more innovative. The new poll asks what you think of the significant industry acquisitions this year, such as NAVTEQ/Nokia and TomTom/Tele Atlas, are such acquisitions a good thing or not?

REST Poll Results and New Poll on Geospatial Presence
[+]
Despite regular REST coverage this summer (see related stories below), 48% of the 60 answers clearly show how REST is not understood by most geospatial professionals. Of the other half, 26% claim RESTful approaches will prevail, and 16% are waiting for the Open Geospatial Consortium to join the bandwagon. 8% say they don't need REST themselves and no one said REST will have no impact, probably meaning REST is really important. Our new poll ask you about your feelings on the extent of geospatial technology presence on the web. Unrelated, I'll now try to catch up the 1000+ geonews item I missed in the last two weeks due to my accident, expect more stories.
