Now that I'm a bit futher into this, is it possible that we could
request that we get the actual Olson text string back when we request
the time zone? If we don't get that it makes it inaccurate to get a
users actual local time...?

Gotcha, thx. I suppose I'm looking for a way to get the timezone from
the utc_offset to take into account DST. Know of any way to do that?

Josh,
Timestamps are all based onUTC[1]. If you want to adjust the data in your
client to be representative of the user's registered timezone, you should
use the utc_offset [2] to transformation the timestamp accordingly.

Is it true that the status date created timestamp and timezone offset
will give me the users local time (if they have their timezone
setup)? If so what about daylight savings time?
I know we get the timezone in text, but is there a good way to map
this timezone text to say python's pytz library?
