I don’t know how new it is .. lol so maybe they won’t kill the timezone market place, but timeanddate.com didn’t get a click from me, I guess timeanddate.com aren’t feeling the google love at the moment..

Dave – almost all search engines have the “time in” operator since long.
Infact ask.com has a much better implementation than Google.

I think this is worse than Google being top of adwords for there own stuff :/

*** can’t yet do what I want, and tell me that if it’s 3am CST, what is it in GMT? or PST? Or what time is it in Calcutta… ***
That’s what timeanddate.com CAN do for you.
And, GMT ceased to exist in 1971. It has been called UTC since that time…

I think this has been on Google for a while. I’ve been using it for a long time, that’s for sure. But I believe they used to have it as text, with links below. Perhaps a better way of doing it?
And for the record g1smd, I still refer to GMT as GMT. Always have. And I was born in 1979… Infact, UTC is a new concept to me.

It’s not so unlike when you type in anything with an address you get served a google map right at the top – We seem to compete with these for a lot of our RE searches. People are looking for a house on a specific street and they get a map.. Not sure how this is 100 % relevant in terms of user experience.

Wait, till the point when Google will be sued in the same fashion as Microsoft was for bundling all goodies in its OS!!!
I’d noticed this a while ago. But it can’t yet do what I want, and tell me that if it’s 3am CST, what is it in GMT? or PST? Or what time is it in Calcutta…
I want Google to do be a time conversion thingy damnit. Who cares about search? Time conversion is where it’s at, baby!
(Note. I’m not being serious. I really would like it to convert times, but that’s not “where it’s at, baby!”)
