The actual dates are 2009-03-07 and 2009-02-15 (more like 4 and 7 weeks ago).
I've seen dates formatted as ages on other systems that do not change units until the age is ≥ 2 x the-unit.
This provides better/more accurate information.
The algorithm goes along the lines of:
    if age < 2 hours then use minutes
    else if age < 2 days then use hours
    else if age < 2 weeks then use days
    else if age < 2 months then use weeks
    else if age < 2 years then use months
    ...

    I agree with Chris, dealing with high number of days is not useful.

This is related to the integrated function time_tag(). I don't know if this request is worth it to implement a own function?
