We use pretty date (e.g. "Just now", "3 minutes ago") in Dialer and SMS, but we didn't do it right. The use of pretty date required time stamp to be updated every minute, like a clock.

Facebook updates pretty date on the new feed page.

We could bind a timeout to every page that use the pretty date to update it, like http://timeago.yarp.com/

Alternatively, we could fall back to the original design that doesn't use pretty date at all (i.e. simple print out time).

Let's vote on this :)
