This is my biggest pet peeve about Facebook. I'd pay money for better analytics about my posts.



I would love to see the same stats on my personal posts as I do on my page's post. How many people have seen it, the breakdown of their demographics, etc. The problem is, seeing those stats on a page (and a page that I pay FB to advertise for me) is really disheartening: the numbers are incredibly low even though I pay FB to show it to people. I'm sure the numbers are similarly low on my personal page as to how many of my 100+ friends actually saw my post come across their feed.


For me it's the sense of ownership that's missing. If I hosted it myself and just looked at data in the server logs - not even fancy javascript analytics - I'd get more information. Not having access reminds me that Facebook is using me to collect data on all my friends.


I think that's going a little far... HN/Reddit doesn't give me server logs either. Very few web properties do. Very very few.


You can create a "Facebook Page" or convert your account to a Page instead.
