Show the date and time... er where is it?

Permalink
I've just noticed that there is currently no addon that automatically shows the date and time on a website.

It's a good thing for sites used often as it shows the user that the page is current.

C'mon boys there's a market here...

what does showing the time have to do with how updated the site is?

hoho well nothing really but it makes it feel like it is up to date.

I'm just surprised that there is absolutely nothing that does it.

Maybe a last updated field as well, next to today's date
