YUI({
    //Last Gallery Build of this module
    gallery: 'gallery-2010.08.25-19-45'
}).use('gallery-torelativetime', function(Y) {
 
    var twitterposts = [ /* ... from elsewere ... */ ],
        content = '',
        entry, i, len;
 
    for (i = 0, len = twitterposts.length; i < len; ++i) {
        entry = twitterposts[i];
        content = '<p>' + entry.status + ' (' + Y.toRelativeTime(entry.timestamp) + ')</p>' + content;
    }
 
    Y.one('#status').prepend(content);
