title: twitter time date stamp -Which time zone is it?
body: <p>I read in a post at stackoverflow about the time date stamp for tweets that</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>the timezone of each tweet is automatically converted to the local timezone. If you need UTC, you can use the <code>.ToUniversalTime()</code> method, for example:
    <code>myTweet.CreatedDate.ToUniversalTime();</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I wanted to know, when I download a tweet from Twitter's streaming API, what is the time zone. In the answer above they wrote that it is converted to the local timezone. I was not sure if that is the local zone of me (the person downloading the tweet stream) or of the person sending the tweet or of some ISP or somewhere else. Could anyone clarify this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks very much.</p>
