Displaying the date
published in the blogger's local time has been bugging me because it's probably quite meaningless to most of the readers. A quick Google search showed a couple of ways to display relative time (i.e. ‘an hour ago’ instead of an absolute time). I picked Jeff Atwood's method for stackoverflow.com with a couple of minor modifications. The relative time is a setting which is off by default in case you liked things as they were. Here are the updated Twitter widgets, bundled together.
Imaginary.Widgets.7z (6.30 kb)
UPDATE June 9, 2010: Incorporated feedback from JP Hellemons to correct an encoding issue in the feed widget.
UPDATE March 11, 2011: Ruslan Tur updated the widgets for BE2.0, you can grab them from here.
