One of the things I found is on the interweb recently is Social Data Statistics Web Part.

Here are some of the things I had to do to get it working on my dev server:
Great tool once you get it running.
Here are some of the things I had to do to make this solution work first time.
1. Once you open the solution (SocialDataStatisticsWebPart), in properties window specify: SIte Url to equal http://[site]/[subsite]/
2. Now the solution will deploy to the site you specified. Add a VisualWebPartProject1 webpart to the page from Custom category.
3. If your page errors our with ASPX error saying that it cant find the control for this webpart, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES and rename SocialDataStatisticsWebPart to VisualWebPartProject1.
Here is what I got when ran this tool on my site:
Enjoy!
