Hey y'all,

The thought popped into my head last night. I think it would be cool to have the ability to put a time (10:30 AM EST) in a note but have it show up as the time of the viewing user's chosen time zone.

An example:

Respond to this by [Time://20:00].

Now let's say I posted that. When I view it, it would say 20:00 or 10:00 PM or something because I entered it from an account that is set to EST and I'm viewing it from an account that's EST.

Now if a west coaster was to view the node they would see 16:00 or 4:00 PM or something. ( Please excuse my lack of knowlege in what CA's time difference is. And my laziness of not looking. Unless my guess is correct ).

I don't see a lot of uses for a Time tag, but I just thought it would be cool. Let me know what you think... unless you don't like it. ;)
