Same as previous, it provides the last update time as a Unix timestamp - which is since 1 Jan 1970. | |||
The unix time stamp is a way to track time as a running total of seconds. This count starts at the Unix Epoch on January 1st, 1970 at UTC. Therefore, the unix time stamp is merely the number of seconds between a particular date and the Unix Epoch. It should also be pointed out (thanks to the comments from visitors to this site) that this point in time technically does not change no matter where you are located on the globe. This is very useful to computer systems for tracking and sorting dated information in dynamic and distributed applications both online and client side. | |||
Note that it stops working on 19 Jan 2038, unless the device that MX is running on, and the web server where this tag is viewed, use 64 bit or better technology. | |||
