you can compare timestamp in javascript .

var input_date = new date('tue, 05 jun 2012 13:25:06 +0000').gettime(); var curr_date = new date().gettime(); if(input_date > curr_date){   alert("greater");     }else{   alert('small'); } 

here demo

​but per requirement, want show time '1 min ago','1 hour ago','2 days ago', can use jquery timeago plugin instead of doing javascrpt calculations. please see this plugin, it'll fulfill needs.
