Fairly easy to do surprisingly. As long as you have enough PHP or other server side experience.

First for the HTML: (All untested code!)

<html>
<head>

<!-- Make sure to include jQuery -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/status-update.js"></script>

<title>Status Update Test</title>

</head>
<body>
<form id="status-update" method="post" action="/">
<textarea name="status" id="status" rows="5" cols="50"><br />
<input type="button" id="submit-status" value="Post" />
</form>

<div id="posts">

</div>
</body>

Make sure you have included jQuery between the two "head" tags:

Now for the jQuery:

// status-update.js

     $(document).ready(function() {

          $("#submit-status").click(function() {

               // If the form is empty do nothing
               if ($("textarea#status").val() != '') {

                    $("textarea#status").css({ 'opacity':'.5' });

                    $.post('your-callback.php',$("#status-update").serialize(),function(data) {

                         $("#posts").prepend('<div id="status-container">' + content + "</div>");

                         $("textarea#status").val('').css({ 'opacity':'1' });

                     });

               } 

          });

     });

The coding of the callback page is up to you, but you get the jist of it I hope.
