Implement AJAX to update information on all screens

[alexhrao]

What

It's annoying for the user to have to reload pages for new information. Using AJAX, we can do this in the background

What's affected

Theoretically, any page that has data. In actuality, however, it's pages where data changes. These pages are as follows:

• Dashboard:
  • The news feed
  • The events?
• User page
  • All information (but only update any info they change)
• Gift page
  • All information (but only update any info they change)

How

Use JS and jQuery to do this with Ajax. We'll need to be able to handle the requests on the server side - perhaps a post request?
