Social media may be a massively dispersed way to contact millions of people all over the world... but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some statistics that show you how to get the most out of it.  Here are 4 facts you probably didn’t know about the best times and days to tweet, blog and post to Facebook.

1. Facebook Users are Most Active at 3:00 pm
So if you want to update your Fan Page or just have all your friends see pictures of your cat, doing it in the afternoon is the best time.

2. Retweeting happens the most between 2:00pm and 5:00pm EST. Tweet then to see best results

Sales of Smartphones increased 85% year on year.  That statistic is amazing.  Consumers are flocking to devices that allow them to consume media anywhere and access the internet from anywhere. Cell phones already outnumber TV sets 3 to 1 according to BNET. This isn’t a trend. It’s a mobile revolution.

What does that mean?

Every other social network makes you sign up as a person first. People need to create fan pages on Facebook, people need to set up and maintain Twitter accounts… heck, Google+ doesn’t even want you if you’re a business.  Considering how much commerce takes place on the internet, and how people actually USE the internet, this seems like a big oversight, doesn’t it?
