Alternatively, the actual date can be rendered on the page and if people want the relative they can hower over. Rendering relative dates instead of actual is not a good user experience in my opinion. Personally, if I'm looking at a date at all that's because I want to compare it to another date. Why it's important for work-related stuff doesn't need explaining, I guess. But this is relevant even for personal matters -- e.g., was this photo taken before a friend's wedding or after, etc. Given how imprecise relative dates are they are not of much help for that. And in the case I'm not looking to compare dates, seeing relative dates doesn't really add any value for me either. Also, it's quite obvious something happened 1, 2, 3 years ago from seeing the actual date.
