How Do You Cite a Tweet in an Academic Paper?

I guess I had better do this properly. I am citing Paulo Simões tweet where he retweets a reference on how to cite a Tweet. The one thing I wonder about is the “time” I see this based upon my time zone and it is not commonly understood what my specific time zone is. Any thoughts?

The reference:

Simões, Paulo. (@pgsimoes). “RT @TweetSmarter: #HowTo Cite a Tweet in an Academic Paper: http://bit.ly/wTkDfO r/t.” March 3, 2012, 2:33 p.m. Tweet.
