Once you've found great content to share, we also highly recommend Bufferapp (bufferapp.com) for optimizing tweet timing . It buffers or spaces out your tweets and Facebook posts based on optimal sharing times. It's great for increasing engagement and it includes click metrics. As you read your daily summary you can queue up your tweets and FB posts and they'll be shared throughout the day, allowing you to kick back, relax, and get back to what's important to you.
