I can’t say “there is no standard of that format” of course, because I very well may have just missed it. But when I started working with the Twitter API I did search for awhile to find the standard they are using and couldn’t find a match. I ended up having to define a custom format (c#):

DateTime.ParseExact(twitterDateString,
                    "ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss %K yyyy",
                    CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.DateTimeFormat);
