Facebook Stats Weirdness

Facebook has some really nice developer pages that let you track the stats of your application. They show you total users, active users each day, daily adds, removes, blocks, and more.

The only catch is that the stats appear to be wrong half the time which limits their usefulness quite a bit. At DeepRockDrive our “daily active users” is frequently LOWER than our daily application adds.

Even worse the total user count which should be a pretty easy statistic swings wildly all over the place. On Tuesday it said we had about 15,000 users. On Wednesday morning it was reporting over 20,000 users, but only about 1,000 new ones??? And today its down to 12,000. From some other stats I suspect the 15,000 number is the closest to reality, but it does undercut my confidence in the overall stats.
