I think there are some tools, which could use this data as "how popular is  
an article" for sorting results. For this monthly data would be fine.  
Daily data is great, too - maybe the sum of the last 30 days or so could  
be cached somewhere. More detailed data (like hourly) seems too precise  
for me, but of course one could imagine even tools for per-minute data:  
e.g. the usage stats for articles relevant for a question at "who wants to  
be a millionaire" would be very interesting. But there are only few such  
things, so this could be done on raw data, if needed. So I would propose  
(if possible) daily data with a db view for either "last month" or better  
"last 30 days" (I don't know, if something like this could be cached... or  
maybe a cron for updating extra tables...)

Sincerelly,
