Add in some caching, and this is a winner. :)

Why not use django's built in template fragment caching?

{% load cache %}
{% cache 1800 feed  %}
    {% pull_feed 'http://www.djangosnippets.org/feeds/latest/' 3 %}
{% endcache %}

this one loads data into a template variable you can use afterwards: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/852/

you didn't add the imports

import feedparser #feedparser.org
import datetime
from django import template
register = template.Library()

To avoid crash on empty or broken feeds:

if len(feed['entries']) < posts_to_show:
      posts_to_show = len(feed['entries'])
