I think it would be excellent for us to study this. What I have long
dreamed of is a regularly published list of "the most read / least
watched articles". Take the number of pageviews divided by the number
of watchers (plus one to prevent division by zero I guess). Or some
more sophisticated variant of that to take into account minimum
thresholds of concern perhaps.
I think there are many cool tools yet to be developed, indeed yet to be
dreamed of.
