Online time travel

Last month we looked at the Internet Archive website which can help online users go back in time. On a slightly different note this month, we take a look at time around the world.

If you have an international business that works across time zones, there are two websites that provide an excellent resource to check local time around the world.

World Time Server is a simple but effective site that allows you to select countries (and states or regions for some countries) around the world to display their current time. Time Ticker presents the information in a more visual way – you need Flash to display the global map and then drag the time line to the required location. Alternatively you can select a country from the right hand panel whereas the left hand panel lists all the countries that fall within the current time zone.
