Today, Facebook is much more than a social network. The Facebook platform and ecosystem offer ever-evolving opportunities for developers, brand marketers, advertisers, and investors.
Inside Facebook Gold is a research and data service supplying original data and research insights critical to making business decisions on Facebook strategy:
1. The Facebook Global Monitor. Facebook is growing in surprising markets all over the world. Our global data presents the latest traffic stats on 96 countries and 6 regions around the world, and also includes historical data and future growth projections.
2. Usage and behavior data. Who are the users that make up the Facebook audience? How do they use it? Our research includes information on languages, demographics, and application audience profiles.
3. Critical analysis and coverage. Major developments related to privacy, Facebook Credits, and ads policy can have a big impact on any company or brand doing business on Facebook. Our critical analysis provides in-depth and practical perspectives on the most important changes affecting your work on Facebook.
The data included in Inside Facebook Gold powers much of the work on Inside Facebook and Inside Social Games, Inside Network's news sites. Get it directly from the source, here.
When I first started InsideFacebook.com in 2006, Facebook was already a staple of college life and a sign of the future of the social web. Since then, it has grown to become a very widely adopted communications and identity service, a powerful advertising and entertainment platform, and a household name as one of the world’s largest websites. But even today, Facebook’s full potential still lies ahead in the years to come as the social graph becomes more embedded in media, applications, and devices all around us.
These days, Facebook’s business has become a big deal for brands marketing to the millions of users logging in on a daily basis, for entrepreneurs building businesses on its platform, and for analysts and investors interested in charting Facebook’s growing revenues. Facebook is no longer simply a social networking website – it has become a broad online ecosystem, supporting thousands of related businesses and on track to doing over $1 billion in revenues this year.
It’s this extraordinary growth and potential, and also the underlying complexities and unknowns, that have attracted the attention of so many. With InsideFacebook.com, AppData.com, and new reports like the upcoming Facebook Quarterly Business Review, we at Inside Network have sought to deeply analyze and understand Facebook’s potential as a social utility, a platform for developers and advertisers to do business, and a growing business itself. But, readers have consistently requested more business-focused analysis and in-depth coverage of key ecosystem issues.
All these reasons make us very excited to announce Inside Facebook Gold, an exclusive new analysis and data membership service specifically dedicated to tracking Facebook’s business and growth around the world – and the impact of Facebook’s product and policy decisions on the thousands of businesses worldwide that are investing in it.
Inside Facebook Gold is directed at entrepreneurs, agencies, analysts, and investors who want to stay ahead of Facebook’s rapid worldwide growth, make more informed business decisions based on Facebook product and policy developments, and understand the full scope of opportunities the Facebook ecosystem presents.
Inside Facebook Gold includes weekly in-depth analysis that is not available on InsideFacebook.com, comprehensive quarterly business reviews detailing every aspect of Facebook’s business, and regular global trend and data insights to help you track change and opportunity around the world.
Back in 2006, when we started InsideFacebook.com, no one could have expected Facebook to become what it has today. With Inside Facebook Gold, we’re looking forward to bringing you data and analysis that will equip you to make critical decisions as the Facebook ecosystem continues to rapidly develop and grow in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Justin Smith
Founder, Inside Network
