I used this in a Firefox Twitter sidebar addon...
getTimestamp : function(time)
{
//--

//--
var system_date = new Date(time);
var user_date = new Date();
var diff = Math.floor((user_date - system_date) / 1000);
if (diff = 1) return just now;
if (diff 20) return diff + seconds ago;
if (diff 40) return half a minute ago;
if (diff 60) return less than a minute ago;
if (diff = 90) return one minute ago;
if (diff = 3540) return Math.round(diff / 60) + minutes ago;
if (diff = 5400) return 1 hour ago;
if (diff = 86400) return Math.round(diff / 3600) + hours ago;
if (diff = 129600) return 1 day ago;
if (diff 604800) return Math.round(diff / 86400) + days ago;
if (diff = 777600) return 1 week ago;
return on + time;
},
Hope it helps

Hi,
We would like to display twitter reasults on our search engine with the
time in twiiter format like seconds ago, minutes ago etc.
I know that a lot of you have worked on Twitter API. Does anyone has a
function that can take created_at string from twitter search feed and
convert into into seconds, minutes or days using Javascript?
If you have done it, please send me the code. I will appreciate your help
and looking forward to hear from developers team.
Thanks
