This looks really cool. I don't use Facebook much, and didn't know they make all this data available. But what prevents Facebook from implementing this functionality themselves?

There is no technical barrier stopping facebook from doing this, however Facebook stands to gain much much more in promoting an ecosystem for companies such as ourselves to exist. They traditionally haven't encroached on this space.

Have we learned nothing from Twitter. FB's ad revenue model is still in its infancy, so I wouldn't assume any part of their ecosystem is safe.

I don't think I've read a Mashable article about a startup in a long while. Really interesting company though, Google won't compete with this and it's a huge market. Facebook is the internet to a large percentage of the population.

My first thought was they need to charge more than $99/month. People who need this kind of realtime data would pay for it. Great job

Really cool to see these kind of social analytics programs - but how do you compete with Google?

What is google doing that is competitive to this?

Not sure what you mean here.

Do you mean when will we offer G+ analytics, or confusing us with website analytics? (we measure social media)

It seems the confusion comes from this part of the article:

> "Google started providing real-time analytics to page managers last September."

This makes it sound like Google has real-time facebook page analytics tools, but that isn't the case. Google started providing real-time analytics for websites using its analytics platform. Not Facebook analytics.

Congrats dudes. This looks awesome!
