Yes, you.  Your analytics.

Do any of these sound familiar to you?

• Spending a few hours each week populating an Excel spreadsheet with numbers you painstakingly gather from twitter, Facebook, blogs, and other sources?


• Drowning in too much data and too many experts trying to get you to do too many things?


• Depending upon Facebook's web-based insights to measure the impact across all your pages-- locations, products, causes, or whatever entities? Unless you're a small business, your presence is not just on multiple social channels, but multiple Facebook pages, whether you're aware of them or not.


• Being asked the value of a fan and not being able to defend the answer. Or measuring your social power vs just how many fans you have versus someone else.


• Having one place to track your website analytics (such as a Google Analytics), but then trying to tie in the impact of everything else online and offline into a single, simple, automated dashboard.


• Having a lot of fans, but not able to determine which ones, by name, are your top fans-- then rewarding them for being so?
