How are you getting on with Twitter? Twitter is micro-blogging website and you may have seen how the Twitter stream works there. People send out tweets in each second and as more and more tweets get posted, early ones will get buried soon. So unlike Facebook or Google+, Twitter is kind of hard to keep track of everything. If you wanna track all, you have to be on it, search tweets or check out interesting profiles individually. But people mostly tend to view tweets via their home stream at the moment they are on Twitter. Do you know when your followers will be online? Do your tweets get more attention of your followers?
Ask Your Followers
Yes, You heard me? Ask your followers when they will be online. Doesn't it cool? You can ask each of your followers when they would check their tweets or comes online. So you can come up with a schedule and start scheduling your tweets. Your followers will be happy to see your tweets when they online and you can increase engagement of your tweets too. How simple. isn't it? I know, now you thinking, how stupid I am? ;) When it comes to Twitter, we may not talking about 3 or 4 followers. It may 100s or 1000s of followers. So practically, we can't reach everyone. But that's why analytic tools exist for. If you remember, earlier we have discussed such a tool to analyze and schedule your tweets - Timely. You can make use of such a tool to analyze and display best times that your tweets has been retweeted or clicked. Here I'm gonna introduce another tool that you can make use of. Don't stick to one until you find best tool for you.
Analyze and Find Best Times
Tweriod is a tool that capable of showing best times for you to tweet.

The times you get more replies or mentions could be the times more your friends and followers interacting with you and being online on Twitter.
