Anyone know a way to get any meaningful numbers our of facebook on a calendar month basis?
Just really need the "people talking about this" and "total reach" metrics. Like so many things on facebook this seems to be virtually impossible.

Data Nitro looks VERY interesting :)
That's pretty cool. One for the bookmarks. Not sure they expose the data I am after through open graph, but I can definitely find uses for that.
The 'talking about' one is available on the graph. example:
