Show HN: EdgeKick, real-time analytics for public Facebook pages

Quick bugfix: It only seems to work if you include the "www." in the URL of the page. Why not just ask for the page-slug instead of the full URL?<p>EDIT: I can see this being really useful in a "opposition research" sort of way. It would be great to be able to view/compare multiple pages at the same time, and then try to highlight where one is going better than the other.<p>For pages that you manage, it's really not <i>that</i> useful when compared to the powerful analytics Facebook already provides through the insights tool.

Seems pretty cool, but the main graph at the top doesn't seem like a very helpful way to visualize data. It seems safe to assume that the vast majority of Facebook pages gain likes over time, and the graph has lower and upper bounds that are very close to those of the data which means you'll pretty much always have the same graph on every page. It doesn't really tell me anything.<p>For example, I just clicked on the first six reports you link to on your landing page, and the graph looks the same for all of them.<p>Other than that, this looks pretty handy. Thanks.

Facebook sometimes shows the cached public page, so the data you are grabbing may jump around.<p>Example: <a href="http://www.dodaj.rs/f/2X/72/1YrHKUTF/edgekick.png" rel="nofollow">http://www.dodaj.rs/f/2X/72/1YrHKUTF/edgekick.png</a><p>Maybe you can add some smoothing in the graph being shown. According to FB insights this page got 5 likes in the morning, and there are no unlikes. If you visit public page, it will show +/- 5, but when logged in to the FB insights dashboard it is consistent at the top value.

What exactly are you offering here -- a scraping and archival service? I'm presuming you're claiming "real-time" because Facebook page insights are already real-time [1], and you periodically scrape and archive that data [2]?<p>[1] <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/26/facebook-insights-real-time/" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/26/facebook-insights-real-time...</a> [2] <a href="http://graph.facebook.com/waltdisneyworld" rel="nofollow">http://graph.facebook.com/waltdisneyworld</a>

I can't see the analytics of my fan page. The error I'm getting is: "We cannot find a Facebook page with this link.".

updated every 10 minutes != Real-time

Awesome work, but i guess you are tracking only few top pages. Cannot find back in time analytics even for pages with a couple of million likes.

This is pretty good. What's the game plan with it?

so what exactly does it do after i enter a URL? is it continuously scraping and gathering data to populate the graph? if that's the case, thanks cause this is a good tool to spy on my competition :)

not working, i keep getting "We cannot find a Facebook page with this link."<p>if i add an "s" to http, i get "Sorry, we are over capicity. Please try again later."<p>Any ideas? slug is estrela10

It would be cool if this could overlay charts from different brands.

Great work, but how is this real-time?

love @ first sight :)<p>btw how did you generate those nice charts?
