Go Pretty Time

Format Go date time in a pretty way. ex : just now, a minute ago, 2 hours ago , 3 minutes ago

Inspired by the John Resig Pretty Date plug-in for JQuery

prettytime.Format("2008-01-28T20:24:17Z") // => "2 hours ago"
prettytime.Format("2008-01-27T22:24:17Z") // => "Yesterday"
prettytime.Format("2008-01-26T22:24:17Z") // => "2 days ago"
prettytime.Format("2008-01-14T22:24:17Z") // => "2 weeks ago"
