The Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) has surveyed the inner 65 degrees in longitude and +/- 1 degree in latitude of the Galactic plane using the IRAC camera (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns) on the {\it Spitzer} Space Telescope. I will present a census of several indicators of star formation from new catalogs of: IR-excess sources and outflow sources, which trace early stages of intermediate and high mass star formation; and PAH bubbles surrounding massive stars, which reveal the history of recent massive star formation. I will discuss methods we have developed to analyze the thousands of newly discovered Young Stellar Objects in the GLIMPSE survey, and show results for the M17 star formation region.
