Shawn,
That makes a little more sense. I've just started to dabble in the FB fan page for business use and it is initially tough to gauge crowd interest and source.

Hi aaphil,
In fact the Insight metrics are primarily for Facebook fan pages created mainly small businesses, companies, organizations, products, brands and the like. Hence these are precisely the kinds of organizations that have an interest in tracking these numbers. These pages are becoming a major tool for marketing taking Facebook beyond its role of simply a personal networking tool.

ahdand,
Is this for personal use or do you maintain business pages?

Shawn,
Wouldn't those metrics really only be applicable to business? It seems like regualre users are a little over concerned about that as well.

Hi Pierre,
Yes, one of the more interesting features of the new FB insight is being able to see the countries of origin for most of the traffic on your page.

Kickecho, Thank you for sharing that - didn't know about the geograhic roll out, but it makes sense just from first blush.

Kicheko: I think its safe to have the old version because the new one looks a bit messy. Anyway I think they will automatically turn all the profiles to one version very soon I guess.

LEADERS FROM THE BUSINESS AND IT COMMUNITIES DUEL OVER CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY ISSUES
The Current Discussion
The Issue: Data visualization is an up-and-coming technology for businesses that want to deliver analytical results in a visual way, enabling analysts the ability to spot patterns more easily and business users to absorb the insight at a glance and better understand what questions to ask of the data. But does it make more sense to train everybody to handle the visualization mandate or bring on visualization expertise? Our experts are divided on the question. The Speakers: Hyoun Park, Principal Analyst, Nucleus Research; Jonathan Schwabish, US Economist & Data Visualizer
