Hello,
I'm using .NET and I'm able to geolocate user city by IP.
Is there easy way to get user timezone by long. and lat. or city name?
I wonder how facebook is doing it?
Thank You

}
);

Hello,
In database I store all date/times in UTC.
I know user's timezone name ("US Eastern Standard Time" for example).

Any advice?
