Countdown timer to an event +5
Edit this Page
I often have issues with attendees missing a conference call where they are dispersed over a number of time zones. It seems that daylight savings time (summer time) and my odd time zone (30 minute offset here in Adelaide, South Australia) always seems to screw things up.
I've been using a countdown timer such as this to make sure that people know _EXACTLY_ when the meeting starts...
The dynamic contdown is particularly important coming up close to the call. What I find is that many people will look at the timer and work out if they have time to go to bed or if they should stay up (also a common issue with cross time zone calls.

Nice. This addition can help WiserEarth users setup some online conferences/meetings...though currently the events feature is not being used that way. Things can get creative.

Ditto, I like this too. Events has been long overdue for visual and technical overhaul, so this idea will be part of the design process.

Yep, my +1. This will probably be part of a site-wide feature to indicate time for different timezones and different time-telling conventions.

I work with Australians and have the same problem - the international date line always complicated things. I like the idea.
