As you may know, it's possible to get the latest 24 games played by people on their Battle.net profile. I've set up a spider that takes random people from Battle.net and mark +1 on each map they have without taking in account the date.
It gives some interesting stats about what are the most played maps. I will probably update the script a little so there's a listing for the last 7 days in order to be more relevant to what maps are actually played.
About the results
It may better reflect the "popularity" of the maps since it counts 1 per player in the map. So SotiS being a 10 players map will get 10 points per game, whereas a 3v3 game will only get 6.
The players are chosen randomly within the ones that are at least in one league! So people only playing custom maps will not be counted.
There is only a small number of players parsed compared to the player base, so the results may not reflect the reality.
What we really need to piss off blizzard is probably have someone create a unofficial client that doesn't have most of the broken features found in the game. Still possible to log on and such but such a program would force blizzard to stop ignoring such a fault.
I have removed the Blizzard maps and restrained it to the last 48 hours. The results are really impressive! The top 12 maps are the same. There's only a few ordering issues but it's really amazing!
Awesome, suggest something to do with merging map for the All lists, either merge by name with a combined popularity or if it has trouble with map not being the same even if it has the same name, remove the all listing altogether since it doesn't make sense

I just updated it with sexy charts for the game played :)

It needs to run for a while before having representative stats, but it starts getting useful!
This is awesome vjeux! But the US chart is bugged. =/
Awesome idea!

Just ran it through a tag cloud and here's what I get (omitting eu and number)
Edit: And you use too much "impressive" and "amazing" in all of your posts. I could run a tag cloud to figure that out :P
Yeah I should probably open a synonym dictionary!
Make a graph with the numbers and you will see my popularity graph :P
By the way, I'm still trying to click on "US" and nothing....
vjeux, you could create new words to express your thoughts :) Like: "Wow! This is so vjeux!"
Freakin awesome.
