We asked CIOs who participated in this month's Emerging Technologies Survey to tell us which Web 2.0 applications they use personally. It turns out they're avid consumers of many of these technologies. Around half watch video online and use wikis, blogs and RSS; about a third use social networking sites like LinkedIn; and 12 percent even use virutal worlds like Second Life.
