[OSM-talk] Which tiles are more downloaded ....

[Steve Chilton]

In the last couple of days there have been mentions on a couple of
geo-blogs of a project to map which Virtual Earth tiles are more
downloaded.
Would it be possible to do similar with OSM tiles from the log files?
Probably not a trivial job to scrape the logs, but I just float the
idea.
See:

ual-Earth-Tiles-are-More-Downloaded.html
which has a demo and link to the actual research paper. And:
