At the moment my favourite idea is a crowd simulator. But I'd be welcome to hear anyother ideas on simulations. Thanks for any help.

Recently, I was searching old topics on this site. One of the ways I filtered the topics was by clicking the "views" link which organized all of the links from most views, decending top down.
Here are some examples of a few Physical Sciences (in most views order)

Maybe you could do something of this nature to simulate a crowds common interests. Questions to ask could be:
-What is the most common specific interest or theme amongst a crowd
-What are some of the overall interests of a crowd
-Why does a crowd favor one kind of topic over another
-Is there any patterns that emerge
(taking into consideration and categorizing the age of the topics)
I thought about looking into it more myself.. Have fun.
