Find the Time All Over the World

12:00AM October 7, 2007 | Wendy Boswell

The Google Friends newsletter points out in a recent issue that Google has now made it possible to find the time in locations in all over the world. Next time you do a web search, type “time” followed by a city, state,

or country and Google will return the time for your desired location. If you enter a location with multiple time zones, we’ll display results for all applicable time zones; or, if you enter a location in multiple states or countries, we’ll show all locations with a similar name so you can choose between them.

You can also simply enter the search term “time” to find your local time; however, this particular feature does not seem to be working completely consistently yet.
