Answer 1

for changing the graph api "created_time" into a "ago" date to match facebook I found the fallowing link for javascript / jquery useful : http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-pretty-date/

var created_time = "2012-04-10T00:17:46+0000";
alert(timeAgo(created_time));

function timeAgo(time){
var date = new Date((time || "").replace(/-/g,"/").replace(/[TZ]/g," ")),
    diff = (((new Date()).getTime() - date.getTime()) / 1000),
    day_diff = Math.floor(diff / 86400);

if ( isNaN(day_diff) || day_diff < 0 || day_diff >= 31 )
    return;

return day_diff == 0 && (
        diff < 60 && "just now" ||
        diff < 120 && "1 minute ago" ||
        diff < 3600 && Math.floor( diff / 60 ) + " minutes ago" ||
        diff < 7200 && "1 hour ago" ||
        diff < 86400 && Math.floor( diff / 3600 ) + " hours ago") ||
    day_diff == 1 && "Yesterday" ||
    day_diff < 7 && day_diff + " days ago" ||
    day_diff < 31 && Math.ceil( day_diff / 7 ) + " weeks ago";
}
