Wrong time at Twitter

Hello!

I´m having a weird problem here. Cumulus is updating the Twitter correctly, but the tweet time at it´s details is completely wrong (more than 5 hours late).
The computer clock is correct, the station's clock is correct, the Twitter account is configured at the correct time zone.
The notebook and the station were installed in my home and the time at Twitter was correct, but after moving the equipment to my college the problem started.

Any ideas?

I think it must be a time zone problem on your PC. I've just looked at your last tweet, 3 minutes ago, and hovering over the time gives me 16:30, which is the correct time here in the UK.

That´s even more weird!

I´ve looked in many diferent computers, more than 5 different smartphones, and all of them shows the wrong time.
It´s 22h42 now, the last tweet at 12 minutes ago gives me 18h30.

It appears that if you're logged in to Twitter, it knows your time zone, so displays times in your time zone. If you're not logged in to Twitter, it doesn't know your time zone, so displays a different time zone - the location of the Twitter servers, perhaps.
