Inside Facebook

The amount of interest in Facebook Pages (also now known as “public profiles”) from both brands and publishers has increased dramatically in recent weeks since Facebook released a major redesign aimed at making Pages much more powerful for brands and advertisers. As a result, many brands, agencies, artists, and media companies have begun investigating what others are doing to make their Pages successful.

Page owners are asking,

What’s really working well, and not so well, in the post-redesign Facebook Page world?

Today, Inside Facebook is excited to announce the launch of a new service called PageData, a new resource for tracking what’s hot – and what’s not – inside Facebook. PageData is the easiest way to track Facebook Page growth in the post-redesign “public profile” world.

With PageData, you can:

• See which Pages are gaining and losing the most fans – every day and every week
  
• See the leading pages in any size category
• View historical growth charts for hundreds of thousands of Facebook Pages

PageData was designed to be an easy to use resource for anyone interested in tracking Page metrics on Facebook. That being said, the site has a lot of room for growth and improvement, and we’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions for features and functionality that you’d like to see added. Please send your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback to mail AT insidefacebook DOT com. PageData is still in very early beta, and (as long as Facebook lets us) we look forward to making the site increasingly valuable to you in the future.

Here’s a look at what you’ll find on PageData:
