Thanks to the unexpected rise of Twitter, global communication is happening more often than ever before.

One of the trickiest parts of communicating globally is timezones – the manual calculations become tiresome and even with the various online timezone converters there is still room for error. I once missed out on an online conference that I had been looking forward to for 6 weeks because I accidentally selected a ’slightly’ incorrect timezone . . . I stayed up until 2am one morning only to find the conference had finished 24 hours prior!

This experience prompted me to look around for the best ‘time converter’ tool I could find.

Enter Permatime, it doesn’t get much easier than this!

You simply set the meeting time in your timezone, and email the link provided to other participants who will see the meeting time in their timezone, or any other timezone they wish to view it in.

Magnificent tool, bookmark it now and follow @Permatime on twitter.

All the timezones used by Permatime are listed in the locations page (you can even request for more locations to be added!)

There are lots of ways that Permatime can help facilitate Global Communication, how will you use this?
