Los Angeles, California, US — Current local time: 1:31 AM on Tuesday, March 6
According to http://www.google.com
screen shot :
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..

http://www.thecommonsensemarketer.comI’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!”)

http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/10/use-google-as-world-clock-to-determine.htmlDave – almost all search engines have the “time in” operator since long.
Infact ask.com has a much better implementation than Google.

That’s what timeanddate.com CAN do for you.
And, GMT ceased to exist in 1971. It has been called UTC since that time…

http://www.jacksblog.co.ukI 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.

http://www.fastrealestate.netIt’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!!!
