Re: Time Zones
#82FYI, you can also type "What time is it in CityName" into Google.
My problem with Google (and this site) is sometimes I don't know a city and am only given a timezone (e.g. on the phone someone says "Call me back before 7:30 Pacific").

#83It doesn't look like it handles the switch to Daylights savings time. See http://everytimezone.com/#2012-3-11,-300,6be

#84I'm using timeanddate.com since long time, and plan to continue to do so:)
Love their multi-zone meeting planner. Also lots of useful details, such as when the next daylight savings shift is going to happen in a particular location.

#85Question: Why did the title of this post change? Was it the original submitter who changed it? If no, who? https://img.skitch.com/20120321-81k4yxffg161n1rh9f2dc4kf56.p...
Yes, please, let's avoid the linkbaiting and inflation. Ah, better now.

#86This 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
+1 here as well. Great UI and easily schedule meetings. Even option to paste the details into a meeting invite.

#87It's a day behind for me; i's reading 5:14PM on March 20th in SF when it's actually the 21st.
Re: Time Zones
#88Glad 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've only briefly looked at this but everything looks awesome. One thing that would be great would be including the various abbreviations next to the time areas.
eg. I'm currently in Sydney where the time is referred to as AEDST (Australian Easter Daylight Savings Time)
My biggest peeve with timezones is seeing something like "Live at 6PM PST!" and I have absolutely no idea what PST is, when it is, etc.
Note: as far as im concerned anything like that should always have a countdown timer to go along with it.. it instantly solves the problem for everyone as they can figure out what time that will be very easily.
Re: Time Zones
#89There are too many time zones, I say toss day light savings time and instead, reduce the time zones, there are 4 in the US, there should be 2 at most, East and West, better for commerce, much more benefit than silly day light savings time which saves no energy and irritates everyone.
