Vague timestamps
When did dates like "1 April 2011" become obsolete? No, of course it's much more helpful just to say "uploaded 2 months ago".
It gets even worse when it's been over a year. Most sites like this don't bother with any sort of rounding, so something that happened on 24 June 2008 becomes "2 years ago" even though it's much closer to three years. Or they go the Flickr route and just measure in months, which is just as annoying because "56 months ago" is entirely meaningless to me unless I mentally round to the nearest multiple of 12 and subtract the years.
If you know the actual date, why can't you just tell me straight up?
