Wiki of the Week: Wikirank

So this time it's not actually a wiki. But this is seriously cool. Like google trends for Wikipedia, Wikirank lets you see up to 90 days worth of page view history of wikipedia articles. Searching for something will give you its history, as well as an excerpt from the article, total views, and the ability to add other pages to your graph. There's also some nice, easy URL stuff you can do. For example, doing something like: http://wikirank.com/en/Superman,Batman will give you a graph of Superman and Batman hits. This is helpfull if you want to compare a bunch of different article's but don't want to have to manually put them in using the interface. In general the site is a really great jumping off point for browsing wikipedia, as thier front page contains information on what's being read now and what's getting popular. FWIW I'm also a fan of the site design.
