A simple C# function to take a standard DateTime and convert it to a pretty string saying how many seconds/minutes/days/weeks/months ago the date was, it doesn't return an actual date, but that wouldn't be hard to change the month/week/day section to return a formatted date instead of the string currently returned.

public static string PrettyDate(String TimeSubmitted)
{
	// accepts standard DateTime: 5/12/2011 2:36:00 PM 
	// returns: "# month(s)/week(s)/day(s)/hour(s)/minute(s)/second(s)) ago"
	string prettyDate = TimeSubmitted;
 
	DateTime SubmittedDate = DateTime.Parse(TimeSubmitted);
	DateTime Now = DateTime.Now;
	TimeSpan Diff = Now - SubmittedDate;
 
	if (Diff.Seconds <= 0)
	{
		prettyDate = TimeSubmitted;
	} 
	else if (Diff.Days > 30)
	{
		prettyDate = Diff.Days / 30 + " month" + (Diff.Days / 30 >= 2 ? "s " : " ") + "ago";
	}
	else if (Diff.Days > 7)
	{
		prettyDate = Diff.Days / 7 + " week" + (Diff.Days / 7 >= 2 ? "s " : " ") + "ago";
	}
	else if (Diff.Days >= 1)
	{
		prettyDate = Diff.Days + " day" + (Diff.Days >= 2 ? "s " : " ") + "ago";
	}
	else if (Diff.Hours >= 1)
	{
		prettyDate = Diff.Hours + " hour" + (Diff.Hours >= 2 ? "s " : " ") + "ago";
	}
	else if (Diff.Minutes >= 1)
	{
		prettyDate = Diff.Minutes + " minute" + (Diff.Minutes >= 2 ? "s " : " ") + "ago";
	}
	else
	{
		prettyDate = Diff.Seconds + " second" + (Diff.Seconds >= 2 ? "s " : " ") + "ago";
	}
	return prettyDate;
}
