Each 'view' to a Wikipedia page could be thought of as a vote.

In the English speaking world yesterday most Wikipedia users were interested in the Chicago Cubs. (they won a baseball thing) The Day before it was Day of the Dead. If there is a 'big news story' then it will tend to appear here But also there is room for the more random or amusing articles.

This could be done with the Wikipedia's in French, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, Russian etc to give a good diversity of topical content in multiple languages. It Would 'cost' in the region of 1.2Mb /day to do so.
