The crests and falls of Facebook traffic

The following is my observation about the traffic on Social media, including Facebook and other Social Media, with respect to the United States Eastern Time Zone.

The traffic on Information Superhighway gets busy during the early morning hours, between 6 to 8 AM when East Coast folks are active on Facebook, checking latest updates and liking their "Likes". In India it's bit slow at this time, as people are still at work during late afternoon.

As the sun goes up, the traffic in East Coast of US goes down, until it peaks up around noon when most take a peek at social media. In India, this time would be between 9 and 10 PM as traffic picks up post dinner, until it is at peak around midnight

It's now a recession time, a boom followes by a slowdown during the  afternoon hours from 3 to 6 PM, when folks in East coast of USA are busy at work, while in India most are asleep. It's now the nap time for the social media.

After 7 PM the traffic usually builds up when the East coasters return home and folks back home are starting to get up. In winter time it would be an hour later, around 8 PM. It would be morning in India, when one usually gets up little late in winter.

This assessment is based on my experience as most of my Facebook friends are based in US and India. It could be different for others depending on their friend list and the places they live.
