This is an interesting problem – I’m sure the issue will come down to time zones.
I’m pulling comments from the Facebook comments table: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/comment
That stores a time for the comment (as a Unix timestamp) – but in what timezone?
Will require some investigation.
What timezone is your blog in?

My site is set to Central Time (US).
No need to rush on this, just thought I’d bring it up. Thanks!
So I posted yesterday at 3:20 Eastern time, and someone commented on that post.
That comment has a unix timestamp of 1283372870
Which translates to Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:27:50 GMT
or Wed Sep 01 2010 16:27:50 GMT-0400 (EDT)
in my timezone.
So I guess what I need to do is take the unix timestamp I get from FB and translate it to the timezone set for the blog, based on get_option('gmt_offset');

That’s cool! Glad that it wasn’t too hard to find. Appreciate you looking into it.
Fixed in trunk (just checked in and tested – will be in 2.0.9)

Awesome! Thanks for looking into it. Much appreciated.
@mtomko I’m going to mark this resolved – but do let us know if it isn’t working for your blog
