Relative time libraries in javascript
when making this page I thought for a moment about these relative time libraries. I settled on moment.js with livestamp.js
Moment.js | Parse, validate, manipulate, and display dates in javascript.
Livestamp.js - a simple, unobtrusive jQuery timeago plugin - goes what timeago does with moment.js
timeago: a jQuery plugin - Timeago is a jQuery plugin that makes it easy to support automatically updating fuzzy timestamps . You get to use microformats like the cool kids.
pragmaticly/smart-time-ago - Smart Time Ago is a little jQuery library to update the relative timestamps in your document.
