This doesn't solve my main gripe with most time converters. I normally don't want the time in Vienna, I want the time at UST-6. My common use case is that I find out an event will start streaming at, say, 10 PM UST-6 and all I know is my clock is EST-3. If I don't know what country uses UST-6, this converter is next to useless for me. My problem is with multiple standards, not with visualization.
I don't know who thought of the whole EST, UST and other nonsense, anyways. Why not just use GMT? At least you can easily convert that. I prefer using UTC, myself. I think it's the way of the future. Timezones have long since been obsolete with the advent of a globalized world, not to mention that they are an unholy mess. UTC is universal. So while we aren't going to switch to UTC for a while, I would very much thank…
Anyway, I don't mind the "Freckle" ad at the end, but please don't hijack my clicks. If I want to open it in a new tab, don't use a js on_click, and put a simple link to the website.
This looks great, and I love the slider. Maybe I'm just not seeing the option, but I need to be able to add and remove time zones. A lot of the confusion of these tools is having to ignore the many cities that don't concern you. Saying the weekday on each would be great too (ex: Friday, March 21). When you're working with Australia it can be hard to remember that they're almost a full day ahead.
http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ offers exactly this. It allows you to search for cities/timezones, shows weekdays, native time format (am/pm or 24hour depending on the timezone) and you can easily select a specific date for the comparison
I use it almost daily.
Glad you guys like it. I designed it, my husband Thomas Fuchs built it. I designed it this way because none of the time zone tools out there reflect the actual nature of time (zones): simultaneous, overlapping lines thru time. ETZ doesn't just give you the answer, it helps you create a useful model of understanding to take with you & use even when you're not looking at ETZ. We've been slowly improving it, so expect m…
I do have some nits to pick. When opening the page the only time displayed is my local time, which is the only time I don't need since I already know it. Clicking somewhere shows me times, but try as I might I can't seem to get it to show me the current time in other time zones. This is the most common (and default) thing I would want to see, and I can't seem to get it at all.

I really like the visualization aspect. It's a nice design. I do have some nits to pick.
