Hi,

Just completed a project using the Wikipedia page counters made available by
*Domas Mituzas (
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2007-December/035435.html)

*WikiGeist is an attempt to build the Wikipedia equivalent of Google's Hot
Trends or other websites' most popular widget. It tracks, aggregates, ranks
and reports the page views on en.wikipedia.org. There are three types of
report: Top Pages by Count (ranks the articles according to the number of
page views during the past hour,) Top New Entries (ranks the articles by
page views with prior page views of 0) and Top Pages by Page Count Increase.
When articles are accessed individually, a excerpt of the wikipedia page is
shown as well as a graph reporting the trend during the past 24 hours.

Let me know what you think of it.

Thanks.
