wikipedia stats aren't a bad proxy either.

These are great! They are consistent with other measures of bitcoin interest, e.g. Google Trends.

Number of transactions. Analyzing the type of transactions occur would be interesting in so far that's possible. Blockchain already filters for popular adresses. People can only bitcoins if they know them. These trends are only of predictive use in the long term, i'm sure. daytrading on stats would not make sense IMO.

What do you mean with "interest"? Why doesn't the bitcoin price reflect it?

Tweet rate is probably a good proxy.

Is there sth more precise than google trends like this:
http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=bitcoin&date=1%2F2013%205m&cmpt=q
Which could show what is real interest for bitcoins?
