fix the timestamps and ordering of alerts. started
Right now my topmost alert in Alert Thingy is a Twitter message with the time 22:53. That message was sent at about 14:53 PDT (local), 21:53 UTC. A message sent at 15:48 PDT (by someone actually in EDT) is actually stamped 15:48 in Alert Thingy, so it's lower down in the list despite being sent more recently.
I suspect the cause has something to do with the tweets coming from Twitter having a different timestamp than the tweets coming from FriendFeed (and Twitter and de-duped, probably.)
Please investigateand advise. Thank you!

I agree. I'm considering a switch from Twhirl, but having all the Twitter updates appear way below the friendfeed ones basically makes this app unusable.

It happend on me too! Let me explain.
Environment:
My PC is on JST (UTC+9)
Repro:
Post to twitter. From web or from AlertThingy. - 30, April 13:00 JST
Observed:
AlertThingy shows my tweet like - 30, April 5:00
Deducation:
Diffs happen because of Timezone diffrence. 8hours differ is from +9 TZ diffs and summer time (-1). Maybe you can reporo this problem, by setting your PC to other TZ.
