What is libjs-jquery-timeago
libjs-jquery-timeago is:
jQuery plugin that makes it easy to support automatically updating fuzzy timestamps (e.g. “4 minutes ago” or “about 1 day ago”) from ISO 8601 formatted dates and times embedded in your HTML (à la microformats).
Timeago was originally built for use with Yarp.com to timestamp comments.
