I am a freelance content provider and I have clients from all over the world.

I had this invitation from a potential client sitting there in my inbox.  All I know is that my bid caught the eye of this client and I needed to schedule an online interview.  All I have is the name of a town and the continent, that I read about during my school days and that was decades ago.

Well, Google would spew out the “local time: place” but that is not good enough for me. I have other clients in several other time zones.  I believe in the dictum that “service is not good enough”. “Dazzling Service” is a must to win, retain and continue to serve if you want to keep your client happy.

I need to make sure that I have enough of rest to deliver them all that I promised to deliver, the best FIVE S*T*A*R stuff that I promised them to expect from me.
That’s when I came across this 706 kb FoxClocks addon for my favorite Firefox browser.  FoxClocks is an extension developed by Andy McDonald.

With close to three million downloads it is a winner no doubt.  Once you add it to your arsenal of addons, it sits pretty snugly on the status bar.

I configured it in such a way that it would display the country flag, the City my client lives in.  It shows the local time in a 12 hours format and the day.  A beautiful tool that helps me schedule my interviews without any conflict with my other appointment, with the other clients living in other time zones. It is amazing how much you can customize it to.

All I have to do it hover my mouse, over the icon that is sitting on my lower left side of the status bar of my Firefox browser and out pops out the little tooltip.  A mouse over displays all the details I have configured it with. Colors and formatted font like bold, italics, regular.

A must addon, for all of you who would like to know your contact’s local time, without leaving your browser and time zone.  I strongly recommend FoxClocks.
