I been working on parsing out bookmarks from an export file generated by google bookmarks. This file contains the following date attributes:

ADD_DATE="1231721701079000"

ADD_DATE="1227217588219000"

These are not standard unix style timestamps. Can someone point me in the right direction here? I'll be parsing them using c# if you are feeling like really helping me out.

Initially looking at it, it almost looks like if you chopped off the last 6 digits you'd get a reasonable Unix Date using the online converter

1231721701 = Mon, 12 Jan 2009 00:55:01 GMT

1227217588 = Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:46:28 GMT

The extra 6 digits could be formatting related or some kind of extended attributes.

There is some sample code for the conversion of Unix Timestamps if that is in fact what it is.
