How Facebook API Handles DateTime

It's a bit weird how Facebook API handles DateTime fields, giving away XML. I don't usually like "invented here" kind of stuff especially speaking of API for others to use...


So - Facebook gives away Datetime as Long (number of seconds since 1970/01/01). In GMT.


Wanted to mention that this caused a bug in Fosimo (apparently fixed) since I didn't pay attention that it is GMT lol...


Update: Apparently there is also a slight delay until the fresh data is propagated to API servers. Something like 15-20 minutes.
