I had 26 responses to the following survey on twitter: “What time do you read your feeds the most, or see the most hits..”
My findings were both what I thought it would be, with a few twists.
I was pretty certain that Morning would be the best time of day. Other than that I wasn’t very certain.
According to my small poll, I was correct - 12 of the people polled, said they read their feeds in the early morning usually between 6-9am.
What I didn’t expect was for the second runner up to be the Night Crew(8pm – Midnight). There were 9 who reported the most activity @ Night.
Third is also a surprise, because it’s a busy time, people are coming home, spending time with families, and eating dinner. But third place is Evenings between 5pm-8pm. There were8 who chose this option.
Tieing for third was the mid morning group (9-11). 8 people also chose this option.
4th place was Afternoon (2-5pm). With 6 people.
5th Place was Noon and Late Night with 2 people. (Noon is roughly @ 12, give or take an hour); Late night is considered after Midnight.
All in all it was an interesting experiment, I think the most interesting part is that I asked a question on Twitter, and got 25 really good answers, which turned into a pretty neat blog post. Twitter really is a wonder.

Hi Patrick,
I like to post around 7-8 am Pacific time but I write best at night so I try and write as many as I can and post-time stamp them so they turn on automatically while I’m still sleeping
@ Linda Bustos – I do that a lot myself, sometimes I will write like 5-7 posts on a sunday and schedule three a day for the week.
