   I just installed the latest version of Twitter Tools with 2.8.4 and added the Twitter Tools widget to display the most recent 5 tweets in the sidebar.

   After each tweet in the sidebar, it says "x hours ago". Clicking on the link takes you to the tweet on Twitter with a completely different time.

   1st Tweet - site says 3 weeks ago, real time on Twitter - 1 hour ago
   2nd Tweet - site says 14 hours ago, real time on Twitter - 19 hours ago
   3rd Tweet - site says 18 hours ago, real time on Twitter - 24 hours ago

   These times do not make any sense. Any idea as to how to get the real time from Twitter to display on the site?

   I am having the same problem. Just installed Twitter Tools on 2.8.4 (new install as of 2 days ago) and on Twitter is shows "1 minute ago", but on my sidebar it shows "3 weeks ago"...what's the deal? Did you figure this out?

   I've looked at this in the past but never been able to reproduce the issue. If someone debugs it, I'd love to get a patch. The bug should be in the aktt_relativeTime() function (which, as noted in the code, was taken from: http://www.gyford.com/phil/writing/2006/12/02/quick_twitter.php )

   It also may have to do with incorrect server time settings, or somehow relate to server times (since I can't reproduce it).

   I just switched to Twitter Widget to get tweets in my sidebar. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-widget/
