Tools like Followerwonk for Facebook and G+

[Oren.]

I'm a huge fan of Followerwonk.  I was wondering if anyone could recommend a product or service similar to it, but for Facebook or G+.  I know G+ may be a stretch, but I'm hopefully there's at least one for Facebook.

I believe the Followerwonk team has said FB is an entirely different beast from Twitter because of all of the privacy involved, and it'd be real hard to do something similar on FB.

Oren, Keri is right. Followerwonk has said that Facebook is a lot different from Twitter, and so you may not be able to get the same data.

At this point, I recommend looking at Google Ripples for posts on Google Plus, using the Explore tab, and also looking at info from sites like CircleCount.com. I have a feeling that Google is being very careful about the data and analytics that we can get for certain reasons. For example, as AuthorRank potentially comes into play, there's going to be certain info that they just don't want us to have access to.

+1 to what Keri said. Facebook is pretty restrictive. There used to be a great G+ product out there, Find me on Plus, but it seems to have gone the way of the Dodo. Not sure what happened there. I know we are doing some interesting stuff internally w/ G+ and hope that it will see the light of day in product.
