For the talking_about_count figure returned under the Page Graph API (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/page) what is the detailed metric definition for this?
All it says currently under the documentation is "the number of people talking about this Page" but what constitutes someone to be talking about a page?
See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/insights#page_stories
The number of people sharing stories about your page ('People Talking About This' / PTAT). These stories include liking your Page, posting to your Page's Wall, liking, commenting on or sharing one of your Page posts, answering a Question you posted, RSVPing to one of your events, mentioning your Page, phototagging your Page or checking in at your Place

I'm looking at the Facebook Graph API documentation and noticed something odd, or maybe I'm misunderstanding something.
This page here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.9/page/likes describes /{page-id}/likes as returning "The Pages that this Page Likes"
However, this page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.9/object/likes (which seems to be describing the same endpoint if a {page-id} is passed in for {object-id} is saying that it returns "An array of User or Page objects representing the people or Pages that liked the object".
The first link says /{page-id}/likes will return outgoing likes for a page, whereas the second link suggests the same endpoint will return incoming likes. Testing it out in the Graph Explorer indicates that the 2nd link is true, which makes me wonder how I can access the outgoing likes described by the first link, as that is what I am interested in.
Am I misunderstanding something here? Thanks!
This is a bug in the Facebook documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/638061899718019/
I have the list of definitions for fields in the Facebook API.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/insights/
The definitions are a brief and not explained. Is there a more detailed description of these somewhere? Specifically:
What is the difference between 'page_posts_impressions' and 'page_impressions'?
I see that the 2nd is larger than the 1st. What other kind of page impression would a user get that is not in their feed?
Also, how are organic and viral defined?
I thought that organic might be generated by the page's postings and viral might be generated by those posting stories about the page.
So I thought that organic + viral = total
I can see on some days this is true but not on others.
Thanks
John
From the page you linked:
page_posts_impressions - The number of impressions that came from all of your posts
page_impressions - The total number of impressions seen of any content associated with your Page
The second includes places users were exposed to your page other than via posts the page itself made, including a user's friends writing on the page wall, sharing a link to the page, etc
I am looking at replacing the comments on my news site with a facebook comments box. This would mean that every time someone posts a news article people can comment on it. This would require many comment boxes for many urls.
On the front page of my site however, I have a feed to all the comments that are posted all over the page. This makes is useful for people to see the discussion happening around the site.
Is there a way to show all the comments that are being posted on my site in one location if I move to facebook comments?
Essentially it would be a feed of all the comments from the different urls.
For each url you have, you would need to occasionaly pull the comments down using the Facebook Graph Comments API with a URL like: https://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments. You would then need to build something to display this. There are no social plugins built for this.
I need to design a site where each product has a Facebook comment box. As far as I understand, it is possible to have a Facebook page related to a given URL, and the comments for the box on that URL will also appear on the Facebook page.
My problem is slightly different: I would need to have a Facebook page, where all the comments for the various products should be collected together. Is that possible?
If you want the comments for each product page to be unique and then "collected together" on a Facebook page -- its not possible.
It is possible to have the comments plugin for every product page be the same comments that are on the Facebook page, but then the comments on each product page would not be unique. Hope that helps!
My friend has created about 20 Facebook fan page for the website. www.AvailDiscounts.com
Now the issue is, when we click on the wall post to "share" with other friends, its taking to another page where it displays the meta tags and the title of the login page instead of displaying the exact post.
Please find the fan page of the website:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Avail-Discounts-Chicago/195486540483072
How to over come this issue.
The Query can be found in the following link with images:

Please help
As far as i have checked this seems to be an issue with the RSS Graffiti application in Facebook.
You have two issues here:
1) Are you posting the correct link in RSS Graffiti?
It seems all of your fan page links redirect me to the Avail-Discounts-Chicago home page. It's either it is non-existent, deal closed or bad URL supplied.
2) RSS Graffiti posts differently than Share button
RSS Graffiti prepares your data, image link title and description before posting to the page stream. The default Facebook Share button does not. What it does is get the URL, scrape that URL with information, which can be defined through opengraph tags. Make sure your links / deals have their meta:og's.
Your question is a bit vague, and the passing of the auth information is kind of scary, but anyway, I'd make the href of the post something along the lines of this:
