Wolfram alpha tool

Wolfram Alpha’s Facebook report  delves into your profile and breaks down all of your activity into easy to digest graphs. It’s surprisingly comprehensive so data like times of interaction, word maps, relationship status and network structure is all visualized for your convenience. This is mostly for fun since it’s only your personal account that’s visualized, but if Face book is your main source of interaction (with subscribers, friends, etc.), you will have a lot of information to help you improve.

 

 Wolfram alpha is billed as a "computational knowledge engine", the Google rival Wolfram Alpha is really good at intelligently displaying charts in response to data queries without the need for any configuration. If you’re using publicly available data, this offers a simple widget builder to make it really simple to get visualisations on your site.

 Wolfram alpha is to let anyone do personal analytics with Facebook data. Wolfram Alpha knows about all kinds of knowledge domains; now it can know about you, and apply its powers of analysis to give you all sorts of personal analytics and this is just the beginning; over the months to come, particularly as we see about how people use this, we’ll be adding more and more capabilities.

It’s pretty straightforward to get your personal analytics report: all you have to do is type “facebook report” into the standard Wolfram|Alpha website
