It seems the confusion comes from this part of the article:
> "Google started providing real-time analytics to page managers last September."
This makes it sound like Google has real-time facebook page analytics tools, but that isn't the case. Google started providing real-time analytics for websites using its analytics platform. Not Facebook analytics.
This looks really cool. I don't use Facebook much, and didn't know they make all this data available. But what prevents Facebook from implementing this functionality themselves?
There is no technical barrier stopping facebook from doing this, however Facebook stands to gain much much more in promoting an ecosystem for companies such as ourselves to exist. They traditionally haven't encroached on this space.
I don't think I've read a Mashable article about a startup in a long while. Really interesting company though, Google won't compete with this and it's a huge market. Facebook is the internet to a large percentage of the population.
