PrettyTime.NET is an OpenSource .NET time comparison library for creating human readable time. This is a modified version of PrettyTime, created by Lincoln Baxter, III from OcpSoft. PrettyTime can be found at http://code.google.com/p/prettytime/.

Completely customizable, PrettyTime.NET creates human readable, relative timestamps like those seen on Digg, Twitter, Gmail, Facebook and FeedWatchdog. It's simple, get started "right now!"
