Wikirank uses the actual usage data from Wikipedia servers to give visitors a better global or custom view of what's happening across the information hub. Cooler features include the ability to graphically compare impressions on four different articles, embed graphs, view Wikipedia entries, and quickly search for related content on Google News, Twitter, or The New York Times.
We really like Wikirank's trending topics on the home page. Topics are ranked by percent change and certainly provide a great graphical view of major fluctuations in page views. Plus, the most read topics in the past 30 days give us an awesome glimpse at what's hot over a longer duration.
We love the tool and can't wait to use it to start comparing pop culture and Web trends, especially since Wikipedia has 10 million plus articles and is most likely one of the first places mainstream audiences go for information on the Web. What do you think of Wikirank? Tell us in the comments.
