And another thing...

...that Facebook could do that I would approve of: Get rid of that stupid "N minutes ago" crap. Put a normal time stamp on the posts. For one thing, it would mean you wouldn't have to waste packets and cycles updating the time-lapses, and it would also mean that when I go to read my Facebook page and I vaguely remember that I last looked at it at around 4:00, I wouldn't then have to figure out how many hours ago that was.

I think it's far more friendly for ordinary humans than timestamps. After all, they're there to tell you how old the post is - so why not just tell you how old the post is?!
