We’re taking a page right out of the #hastag handbook and bringing you a #tbt blog post. For those of you who don’t follow hastag trends – #tbt stands for Throwback Thursdays. Typically this is when social media users post old photos of themselves, friends or family.
Instead of posting old photos, we’re giving you a #tbt blog post! We always talk about giving new life to your content, and what better way to do that then to resurrect a blog post that is still relavant, and still a frequently asked question today. Additionally, we’re adding one more platform where you can schedule tweets {which related back to a previous post as well}, try the Viralheat social media management tool and stay ahead of your tweets.

Want to know the best time of day to tweet so your followers will read and respond? There are definitely certain times of the day that are better than others.
Fortunately for us, there are tools to help us answer when its best to tweet. Here are a couple I would recommend:
1. TweetWhen will show you what days and times will get the most retweets. Tweet When analyzes your last 1000 tweets and was created by HubSpot. For example, when I used our Twitter account, it stated that 11am on Tuesday’s were our peak day and time to tweet (see below):
2. Tweriod will tell you when your followers are more likely to be online by analyzing your last 5000 followers. It takes about five to ten minutes and will send you a direct message with its results.
3. SocialFlow takes a slightly different approach by dynamically publishing your content for you when it determines it will resonate the best with your audience on Twitter.
4. Last but not least, there is Crowdbooster. Crowdbooster gives you an at-a-glance display of your tweet analytics and even provides customized PDF and Excel reports plus scores, which are determined by when your followers are most active and how your tweets preformed. Here is a quick glance at the dashboard Crowdbooster prepares using our ElementsDesign twitter account as an example:
Have you tried any of these Twitter tools for when to post? Or, do you have an additional Twitter tools to add? Let us know!
