 Add a counter for each video object showing how many times it has been
 viewed. Possible problems include the fact the flash video file is hosted
 by apache rather than zope, so direct integration with zope may be
 difficult. Similarly, engagemedia.org uses a cache to speed up access, so
 actual hits would need to be counted from the logfile of the apache server
 that sits in front of the cache.

 Per-page views should be easy with the mxmCounter or FSCounter products,
 but this may not produce the desired statistics. However, these might be
 used as a basis for modification to query the apache logs or awstats
 directly.

 Another alternative is to use google analytics in conjunction with the
 analyiticsforplone product.
