Best time to submit/promote stories or blog posts to twitter/facebook/digg etc.
I have seen people trying to promote their blog posts randomly without considering the different time zones in many countries around the world.Just sending out tweets, submitting diggs or sharing on facebook won't do it and will be missed by a huge amount of people.If you want the highest possible exposure of your new blog posts considering the different time zones is crucial.I have experienced that promoting a post globally and most effective should be done at: 5 'o' clock pm London time (Beer time)equals6 'o' clock Germany, France etc. ( Dinner time)equals9 'o' clock in Silicon Valley (arriving at the office)equals12 'o' clock in New York (Lunch time)In order to reach our Australien and Asian friends you have to promote your blog post again around 6 - 9 hours later.Check out this time zone world map:
Since you are not always availabe, there are some really great tools to schedule your tweets such as twitterfeed.com or tweetlater.com to gain the highest possible exposure.
Log Timezone Changes
I've just changed the way that GPSLog Labs detects the local timezone for a log to make it more reliable.
Each place now has a timezone field and this is used to set the default timezone for any logs to or from that place (kind of obvious really...) When you're adding a new place, you can choose the timezone or just click the "Auto-detect" button which will use the geonames.org web-service to determine the timezone. I have been able to fill in most timezones for places that have been created to date. Have a look at the Places configuration page though as you may have one or two that you'll need to set yourself. If a log doesn't match any places it will default to the timezone you've set in your Profile page, and the timezone for a log can always be edited if you want it to be something different.-- TomTimezone support changes
I've just spent some time refactoring GPSLog Labs so that it has much better support for logs in different timezones. For each log, you can specify the timezone that it was recorded in and it's times will be shown in that timezone no matter what your current timezone is set to, i.e. logs show the times you experience the activity.
The upshot of this is that if you were going for runs at 9am in one country, they'll appear at 9am when you compare them to runs in another country.

TIME ZONE featuring JOHN LYDON & AFRIKA BAMBAATAA - WORLD DESTRUCTION (1984)
When it comes to rock stars that I love I like 'em surly: Mark E. Smith... Ian McCulloch... grrrr! That's what I like to hear! And put John Lydon at the top of the list.
To most John Lydon will always be Johnny Rotten, the Sex Pistol. Yeah? Screw 'em! Yeah, I like 'em but I don't love 'em. When I was in London in November '07 the Pistols were having a reunion tour and we figured, what could be more essential than that?!?! So we went... and they BLEW! Just absolutely boring and atrocious. Armando summed it up best "I felt like I was watching Motley Crue". They didn't sound like this groundbreaking band but rather a tired old rock outfit. And to make matters worse Lydon chose to wear a PiL shirt that evening to remind me of his true accomplishments.
But the best thing about Lydon is he KNOWS. Knows the Sex Pistols tour is only for the money. Knows PiL is better. Knows PiL's latter albums sucked. He never tried to hide it nor does he wish to go into great details about it. Any press conference is an amazing display of the reporters trying to get out of there without some form of verbal assault and contempt for their very questions. The classic is his appearance with Keith Levene of PiL on The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder. You can find it on YouTube and it's a must watch. He's an absolute dick but it's entrancing.
And he's a disappointment. PiL became a joke, his music career was put away, and he allowed himself to become a reality star. And as if he couldn't get worse, I saw his face used on butter ads in the London subways. Shudder!
But I love him, that attitude, and that droning voice of his when he sings.
The other night I was at the Bigfoot Lodge and I heard a song which drove me up the wall because I couldn't initially identify it. The bar was loud and I didn't have that handy Shazam device on my iPhone at the time. But later I pieced it together as the one-off song Lydon did with Afrika Bambaataa under the name Time Zone. It reconnected me with a classic and I've been listening to it non-stop ever sense. Lydon does a one-off, one of the intial rap/rock combos to ever be released, and he nails it.
Man, I love that colossal twat!
