Marketers have been speculating about which day of the week is the best day to tweet. As Twitteropia continues to swell, getting a tweet across is becoming increasingly difficult in this rapidly evolving environment. That’s why I created this chart. It shows with pinpoint accuracy which day of the week is best for Twiterring, as well as time of day. NOTE: times are Eastern Standard Time. Results in different time zones will not vary.
I don’t understand this chart. The way it appears to me, it has blue check marks on every hour round the clock, 24/7 for all 7 days of the week. It has nothing that shows the best time to tweet.
Ya.. I must concur.. Don t understand… Are you trying to say that anytime is the best time? was hoping for some stats… oh well… Best of Success to ya,

Roger, yes this is ME being totally sarcastic.
I was trying to convey with a smirk grin that the best time to Twitter is basically anytime because of desktop apps and the mobile nature of Twitter.
Man! This made me laugh!!!
I can’t believe the first two commentators were actually trying to understand the chart.
I think the most important point is…if you are worrying about the best time to tweet….you are probably not using Twitter right
Great point. That was the purpose behind the chart. And its sarcasm
*facepalm*
I found it funny, anyway. And you’re right! Any time is tweetin’ time…
Joe, great chart, really got me smiling. I’m a marketer, googled ‘best time to tweet’ and saw this; sarcasm and humour alive and well and living on your blog. I tweeted the link to this ‘cos us marketers need to laugh at ourselves and you hit the sweet spot with this. Great stuff!
Thanks Mark, I was totally aiming for the sarcastic approach when I wrote this over 1 year ago. Really surprised at how much dialogue this is getting. Didn’t expect it.
All the best. BTW, you can follow me on Twitter at @joeszabo
Any time, of course
I don’t agree. People follow so many twitterers that the ones done when people aren’t at their desks will scroll past and they’ll never been seen. Who scrolls back and checks the hundreds they missed overnight? It’s a case of ‘blink and you’ll miss it’.
Funny post
The “what I’m doing” kinds of tweets are best and most appropriate in real time, when they’re happening. For maximum exposure of a message, especially if you’re a business trying to have as many possible customers see your tweet, is suggested by some Twitter marketing studies to be at the beginning of the workday, at lunch, and again near the end of the workday…with Wednesday, Thursday and Friday being the highest Twitter traffic days. Important to remember that not all followers are in the same timezone.
