[Air-L] Nvivo for facebook pages

[Fabio Gouveia]

Hi,

I´ve been using Facepager for some time and I love it. It really
requires a little bit of knowledge on how to make the calls, but it´s
really a good tool to invest time in. Some issues on the Mac version
and a little bit of knowledge on the different versions of the API to
get reactions downloaded right. I do agree with Bernhard that working
with facebook data, due to the lack of transparency, it´s really
complicated.

best,
