Our experience managing a large Facebook page shows that activity is much higher outside working hours with a spike early Friday evening and consistently good ‘shares’ over the weekend. It looks to me like the interpretation of the data is too generic because it doesn’t take into account the big differences in audience demographic so needs to be applied with caution.

I’d love to see some studies on it, but it always seems to me that social media users feel the need to use hyperbole just go tet noticed. So you can’t describe something as merely good, it has to be “actually the best thing ever!!” (and vice versa).
