What are the best times to post to your favorite social media platforms? Bitly crunched the numbers and here’s what they found:
- Post 9am-3pm ET, Monday through Thursday
- Especially post 1-3pm ET, Monday through Thursday
- Avoid posting after 8pm ET during the weekends
- Avoid posting after 3pm ET on Friday and at all on weekends
- Post 1-4pm ET during the week
- Especially post midweek 1-3pm ET
- The very best time is Wednesday at 3pm ET
- Avoid posting between 8pm ET and 8am ET during the week
- Avoid posting on weekends
Tumblr (graphic posted above)
- Post from 4pm ET onward
- Especially post from 7pm-10pm ET onward, with Monday and Tuesdays being good
- Post on Friday evenings
(Sounds about right. Tumblr’s popularity in the evening supports my assessment that everyone likes to live-blog TV.)

One of his primary, perpetual obsessions could be considered the real face of Tumblr: the Dashboard.
