Permatime is something I’ve been looking for for quite a while now. It’s a neat little app created by Alex Kohlhofer and Tim Diggins which allows you to share a particular time with other people across the globe.
So let’s say you have a meeting arranged for 3pm London time, you simply create a permalink at Permatime.com and share that link amongst your meeting participants.
Prior to this, it was a matter of repetitively calculating time difference every time a time was mentioned. There are other tools out there which with a bit of work provide the same solution, such as; time and date, ask.com, edifast and What time is it. However, the reason I highlight Permatime is frankly it’s the first simple, clean & straightforward solution that I have found.
If there are any other time arrangement solutions out there you know of, please feel free to share them in the comments.

Yeah, that IS convenient! We just switched to Daylight Savings Time and you have to update WordPress manually which screwed everything up. We also have to post something at exactly 8PM California time and were just looking for an online solution to find out when that would be in Amsterdam time!

Hey – that is a good idea. We should add those Swatch ticks. Should be easy enough.
Thanks for featuring Zee!
