The Time Zone Challenge

12/18/08

The introduction of internet technology has changed the world forever. For marketers, the internet has proven to be the perfect solution to faster and more efficient communication through the use of teleseminars, online meetings, and webinars. This onslaught of technology has made it easier than ever to hold meetings across the world.

Despite that, great ambition comes in the form of great challenges. Though it may seem silly to say, the challenge that many wrestle with turns out to be the difference in time zones.

Whether you are serving the world community or being served by one of them, I have come across the perfect solution to all your time zone problems: World Clock, a website that allows you the ease of determining the current offset of time when you plug in the time (ie. Noon CST) of your event into the oh-so-useful Time Zone Converter. No longer will you have to agonize over the difference of PST and PDT. Save your stress for something more important (like your dog eating your presentation).

Another useful thing that World Clock can do is help you set up meeting planners in the form of a table when you input the cities of the attendees. If you frequent certain time zones and cities more often than others, the available personal world clock would be useful in letting you know what time it is.

All in all, World Clock works to help eliminate one more challenge that can block the path towards your goal. The icing on the top of the cake is that it’s free too.
