By applying Newman's method, the AdS3 rotating black hole solution is "derived" from the nonrotating black hole solution of Banados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ). The rotating BTZ solution derived in this fashion is given in "Boyer-Lindquist-type" coordinates whereas the form of the solution originally given by BTZ is given in a kind of an "unfamiliar" coordinates which are related to each other by a transformation of time coordinate alone. The relative physical meaning between these two coordinates is carefully studied by evaluating angular momentum per unit mass, angular velocity, surface gravity and area of the event horizon in two alternative coordinates respectively. The result of this study leads us to the conclusion that the BTZ time coordinate must be the time coordinate of an observer who rotates around the axis of the spinning hole in opposite direction to that of the hole outside its static limit.
