Ha! Once I got the actual Marriott, they were very helpful. - David Lee King from email

So, I've just been looking back over the past few months of blog posts I've written for the Mendeley Blog and I've noticed that the first 2 days of pageviews are a small fraction of the eventual readership, and if I re-share the post again after a day or two, I get about as much readership again as I did the first time.

I know some of you are bound to be stats fiends...Anyone else notice this on their blog? - Mr. Gunn

I'm thinking of re-sharing on days 1,2,and 4, at different times of the day to see if this is because people are following so many other folks that stuff scrolls off their page/feed reader before they check. If it gets annoying, please let me know, especially you folks who are in here all day long ;-) - Mr. Gunn

Do like KevinMD and post things several months later, without a clear indication that it's an old post. Really makes me love that blog. Not. - Jenny Reiswig

Stephen Curry re-punts things on twitter quite a lot. I presume because it gets results. I do from time to time because I almost inevitably post on a Sunday as its the only time i have to write anything... - Cameron Neylon

Annoys the crap out of me when David Lee King double-tweets his posts. I have RSS if I don't see the first message and feel like it pollutes the stream. People use twitter differently , so other people's milage may vary. Just my 2c about what it is like for me. - Kathryn is Blake in Hindi

I asked my followers before and settled on tweeting my posts *3* times..spread out through the week at diff times :) . Not the lame ones though. For whats it worth, sometimes the 2nd tweet gets retweeted even more than the 1st (depends on time etc) - aarontay

From my own personal experience, I share my blog posts a max number of 3 times on Twitter. Two different times in the day because you get different librarians at different times, whether it is people who work the morning shift, the West Coast librarians waking up, Europe coming home from work, etc. The third is usually the night before when I initially post it since I tend to post late... more... - Andy

I try to time a blog post so that NA and Europe can catch it during the day/early evening. Time of day really seems to matter - early-mid afternoon seems for the east coast and midwest seems to be the best time to catch people monitoring social net. The only retweets I get are from others so I haven't retweeted myself. - Elizabeth Brown

As long as I know it's a reshare....it's okay but mildly annoying. I use RSS so I'm not hugely into twitter to pick up new blog posts tho... - Hedgehog

Kathryn ... you could [cough cough] have a chat with me about that [cough cough] ... honestly, I didn't even know I WAS double tweeting my posts. I'll look into that (but it's not high on my priority list). - David Lee King

You need to track the IPs to find out if they're the same damn people... :) - Benjamin Tseng

Thanks everyone for your comments. I guess this is an accepted practice, as long as you're careful. I'll space things out for the US and the UK crowd and please let me know if it gets annoying or if you feel like you're missing stuff. - Mr. Gunn

David, I presumed you knew and was doing it for the reason that Mr Gunn is talking about. Lots of things annoy me a about how people use social media, but unless I think it is something that seems accidental or I think it would piss everyone off or I am directly asked I'll probably not mention it. Sorry if using your name here was not the most diplomatic thing to do though. - Kathryn is Blake in Hindi
