Timed Social Media Interactions

The 'When Should I Post This?' Chart is on Twitter and Facebook

If you, like many others before you, are wondering what the best time is to hit up Facebook and Twitter with your awesome tweets, look no further than the 'When Should I Post This?' infographic. The fantastically useful graph tells you all you need to know about Facebook posting and Tweeting.

For Twitter, between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. in the afternoon through Mondays and Thursday is prime time to get some followers, connect with like-minded people and get the ultimate exposure. Surprisingly enough, after 8 p.m. on these days, it would seem people are not tweeting to the same extent unless something really big is happening. When going with the highest competition time periods though, make sure that what you are posting about is truly epic, otherwise you'll get left behind in the scuffle.
