I'm thinking about using this plugin http://timeago.yarp.com/ to return date values to time ago.
But it required dates to be in this format ISO 8601: 2008-07-17T09:24:17Z
That's where I'm confused as my dates are stored in a mysql database as a timestamp like this 2011-12-23 12:51:09
Could anybody help me distinguish the difference between the two timestamp types because the jQuery plugin wont work with my current timestamp formats (2011-12-23 12:51:09)
