How to convert the UTC time according to viewer’s timezone?
I heard that it’s not possible to get the timezone of the viewer, but then how do social networking services like FB, twitter do this ?
Edit: I have registered users on my application.
It is possible to get the user timezone, but this is done with javascript (get the detect_timezone.js). You most likely do that when users are registered.
Another, worse way is to approximate the timezone based on the IP
and finally (with combination of any of the above), you can give the user a choice to select his timezone in his settings
