Apparently This Is The Best Time To Share A Facebook Post

Fishing for likes.

Cathy Donohue

Facebook is responsible for distracting us on a daily basis and it’s all too easy become obsessed with that little red notification button.

Interestingly, the brains behind Klout believe they have come up with the ideal time to share a Facebook post.

If you post at the weekend, chances are people won’t be too bothered but it’s a completely different story during the week when people are scrolling through their news feeds at work or school.

To compile this research, Klout focused on the Facebook behaviour of over half a million users and 144 million posts.

Concentrating on users of the social media site in London, New York and San Francisco, the “best” time to share a status is between Tuesday and Friday from the hours of 9am to 3pm.

Research showed a noticeable drop in responses once work hours are over and in general, likes and comments on a post will occur within two hours of it being shared.
