Is there a way to get it to say: Published 5 minutes ago?
Well, you have the pub date so from that you can calculate whatever you want to display.
What would one add to this to get it to update in real time?
You can reload the feeds as often as you want but ultimately you're at the mercy of Google's FeedFetcher cache. For details: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/documentation/#Caching Mike
