Fascinating, Johan.
Can you describe the ranking a bit? It's very interesting to see that the Chernobyl
disaster had a 388% increase, but I don't understand why it would be in a top 10 list
among others whose upticks were in the thousands and millions of percentage points.
I do see on your "About Wikitrends" page that "Ranking is a measurement
based on both absolute and relative increase of page views."
I would suggest that having that statement (perhaps with a tiny bit more detail) in the
header for the Wikitrends page itself (above the ranked articles) would be very helpful;
and that on the "About" page, it would be nice to have a more detailed
explanation of how the articles are ranked.
Regardless, a very interesting tool, highlighting a revealing collection of articles
people are reading.

It has more languages, longer time spans and a bit more sophisticated
ranking algorithm.
