Not a designer, but here's my take: Clipping is a good approach to maintaining the interface widget. However, the content still needs to be exposed somehow, such as with a tooltip on hover. Similar to how all "3 days ago" "dates" should show the actual date/time when hovered. The default interface should be clean and easy, not cluttered, with a more detailed level available on request.
