Wikistats shows how often the pages are changed and how many people are contributing. This week DataSift launched Wikistats a site that shows real-time data about which Wikipedia articles have been edited the most in the last 24 hours. The site identifies when changes were made and by how many different users. The data also shows how many lines were removed from articles and how many were added. The Wikipedia articles are ranked using an algorithm combining the number of edits, unique editors, and lines added and removed.
"Just as we identified the most popular stories on Twitter when we created Tweetmeme, Wikistats is another great showcase of what's possible with DataSift's Social-Data platform," the company wrote in its blog. "By filtering and analyzing the activity stream of new articles and edits on Wikipedia, we're able to surface an insight into the top articles and content being created."
