Datasift, the social-data platform which specialises in realtime streams, has done something which is going to make PR people quiver in their boots and journalists sit up and notice. They have turned any changes on Wikipedia into a realtime stream which will be searchable and customisable. The implications are that you'll be able to changes changes and the people making the changes in a far more user-friendly manner. The stream will be available here on Datasift, but also surfaced at a new site, Wikistats.Datasift founder and CEO Nick Halstead told me at the Le Web conference in London: "Naughty people who change Wikipedia pages incorrectly will be worried. But others will be able to use it as a powerful tool, especially researchers. It's a huge poll of data. Wikipedia editors will also now be able to more easily monitor changes to pages. It's going to be amazing to see what people use this for."
