recoding facebook timestamp in R

How do I recode of vector of timestamps from a facebook api pull that is a factored looking like the following to a time/date variable? 

[[1] 2012-10-19T19:52:43+0000

I tried the following, but I only get NAs:

strptime(as.character(time), "%Y-%b-%dT%H:%M:%S+0000")

Your format is wrong. The %b should be %m.
