Wikirage, Find Hot Topics on Wikipedia

I always thought about how wonderful Wikipedia is. Where else can you find faceless, nameless humans sharing their knowledge for someone they don't know in some distant land. Internet makes ideas that seems weird bring to reality. Now coming back from philosophy to reality: Wikipedia is cool and none of us can think without living it anymore.

There are many tools out there that will help you keep updated with latest happening around the world and today I want to share you with Wikirage which is one such similar tool. I assume that name didn't get a clue of what it is. So here we go:

Wikirage is a service that will tell you about the latest updated pages from Wikipedia. It 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.

You can sort the pages by many criteria including Quality Edits, Unique Editors Total Edits, Vandalism Reversions, Undos etc.

So, what will you do with such a service, here are some of my thoughts:

  • Just for random browsing
  • Increase your knowledge
  • To glitter ideas about a posts, if you are having writers block

If you are a blogger you will really appreciate this one for the last point alone. Wikirage has got XML feeds also, so fire up your feed reader and subscribe to one of their feeds.
