iOS - Friendly NSDate format

Question

I need to display the date of posts in my app to the user, right now I do it in this format: \"Fri, 25 May\". How would I format an NSDate to read something like \"2 hours ago\"

Answer 1

I wanted a date format like Facebook does for their mobile apps so I whipped up this NSDate category - hope it is useful for someone (this kind of stuff should really be in a standard library!) :)
