For Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn it's probably more interesting to see likes and tweets (or some other sort of interaction score, like Klout) instead of just pure followers. Since followers are going to be pretty slowly climbing all the time. (Although maybe in larger time intervals followers would be more interesting.)
Annotations of events for the companies on the graphs (Google Finance style) would also be sweet, so they are easier to parse for outsiders.
About a month ago we added Facebook talking about data, and will start to light that up in the product. Twitter mentions is on our radar too.
We love the way Google trends shows breaking news annotations, and have already explored that a bit. You just can't see it in the static screen shots, since it's a hover behavior.
