Google idea: timezones
July 28th, 2005
Everybody knows the Google calculator, right? You go to Google, enter "2+2", and get "2 + 2 = 4".
Now, most people will also know the Google converter: enter "101f in c", and you'll get "101 degrees Fahrenheit = 38.3333333 degrees Celsius".
So far, so good. But when I was reading about the Google Code Jam 2005, I was considering whether I would participate, just to see how far I would get. But - will I have time at 9 PM EDT? Wouldn't I be at work? So it came quite naturally to me to go to Google, and enter "9:00 pm edt in cet". Big disappointment: I thought of something that Google didn't. So, Google, is this an idea for you? Can you do this?
