It helps avoiding the need of making calculation to know at what time a Tweet has been posted according to the poster's timezone. It doesn't make sense to see that Jeff said Good morning at 12:30 even though it was 06:30 for him... Of course for a personal timeline I will need to have the 13:30 information, but I would appreciate to have a mention of Jeff's timezone somewhere. For now, I must calculate each post's timestamp, whether it comes from India, Switzerland, New-York or Australia... > If tweets all start having variable timezones, it is just another > thing that has to be calculated around to get times into the local > timezone for end users. > > I am not going to repeat myself... > I still believe this feature would emphasize the international impact of Twitter and improve the user experience. What do you think? Cheers, Emrah
