WikiRage

Hmmmmm. What are people passionate about? I’ve always thought that library circulation records tell us a lot and are a view into what they’re interested in.
This site interests me too along with some of the search engine Zeitgeist sites on the web.

What’s Hot on Wikipedia?
“This site lists the pages in Wikipedia which are receiving the most edits per unique editor over various periods of time. Popular people in the news, the latest fads, and the hottest video games can be quickly identified by monitoring this social phenomenon. (Last Hour; Last 6 Hours; Last Day; Last 3 Days; Last Week; Last Month)”
Anyway, the days I’ve seen it, it surely validates public libraries’ sports, entertainment and gaming collections. Mr. H. Potter too. I’m sure this could make an interesting discussion launch point among reference and selection librarians.
On the news front, I’ve heard that Wikipedia often scoops the main stream media. Are there other sites that predict question and reference trends?
