Switch

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Jason Evanish recommends it affiliate
If you aren't familiar with the concept of the Elephant and the Rider, go read the Happiness Hypothesis (see the Psychology and Behavioral Economics section above). After that, read Switch as it shows how to apply those motivating factors to both inspiring your team and marketing to your customers. Just like Made to Stick, it's actionable, easy to read and only as long as it needs to be.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
