internet time
The simple elegance of posting not the actual time, but a how long ago it was posted should be used by everyone. Alas, I’ve only found it on one and the major blogging contenders do not support that method of dating. Too bad because it makes perfect sense for the internet. Dean is in France and I’m in Montana. If he was using actual time it would seem like he’s posting something the next day. And I’m sure people reading my site in other parts of the world would experience this to. Makes me wonder why more people haven’t adopted this model, since .beats never made a smashing success.

That takes a subtraction every time you view the page, so you can’t really do it for static HTML files like Movable Type generates. Still not a bad idea though.
