Yesterday, 2013 IEG grantee Jeph Paul started seeing 1000s of hits on his
(grant-funded, volunteer-maintained) ReplayEdits tool which visually
replays edit histories of Wikipedia articles.
Here's why:

(the tool <https://cosmiclattes.github.io/wikireplay/player.html> is
linked from one of the last few paragraphs in the article)
The article itself is not exceptional. It's just cool to see one of our
locally grown research prototypes get good press.
