I would like your guidance. Could you suggest me a programming languages capable of monitoring my Facebook friends activity?
By activity I mean:
Know when they get online
Know when they post something
Know which are my friends that contribute more in likes/comments in my profile in the last X hour
I could think of following two ways:
You will need to use Facebook Graph API to monitor posts by user https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v3.0/post. But for that, the user should give permission to your app or the post should be public. Graph API SDK is available for PHP, Javascript, Android, and IOS.
Another way I could think is by using automation testing tool like Selenium. Selenium is available in Java, C#, Ruby, Python, and Javascript. You will need to write Selenium code to open Facebook, log in to your account and check the status of your friends. To do this you will need to either keep your system running or use a headless browser and host it on a server.
I hope you are not doing this to spam or annoy people on Facebook.

When I try to register app SoundCloud page redirect me to Google Forms, where I fill all inputs. On submit I receive a message: "Looks like you have a question or two that still needs attention.", but there are no blank inputs. Any advice?
I had this issue also and when I changed the app URL and the redirect URI to something simple, for example 'http://www.appname.com' (as oppose to my localhost address), it seemed to work.
I have to say the new app sign-up on SoundCloud is pretty terrible, used to be so much more straight forward.
Hope this helps!
If you look at the API docs it specifically says that the scheme needs to be https, but after 6 hours trying to install the SSL, giving up on it the and one last look at the google docs I realize that it said http or https!

What are the best practices for creating a user authentication system for an ios application? Any good tutorials or insights on the process are helpful (newbie).
Stormpath is an authentication and user management backend service aimed at developers. You manage your own collection of users, verify their logins, and assign users to groups (roles). Your app makes calls to their server.
Parse provides a Parse Social service that lets your app do user authentication through Facebook or Twitter. Parse is being acquired by Facebook (as of 2013-04), so I don't know what that means for their future.
Okta is another.
Mozilla Persona is quite promising, but may not yet be ready for the real world. There is an open-source kit for iOS named persona-ios. Read a discussion on How to use Persona in a native iOS app?.
User authentication and identity as as service seems to be a new but burgeoning field.
If you are using a third party backend the stackmob, parse etc all handle authentication. If you are rolling your own then this project looks a reasonable way to go: http://quickblox.com/developers/SimpleSample-users-ios.

I'm looking for an authoritative source on which browsers people browse facebook with. Specifically, I'm curious what percent IE6 and IE7 are at.
I constantly run into issues with IE7 on Facebook, and am trying to determine if it's worth my time to search for solutions.
I doubt if Facebook would release that private information.
You could use your own web server's log files (the server that hosts your facebook app) and get stats from those files. But I presume, you don't have access to those. So you might be able to make a guess by checking out the global stats here: http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php or http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
EDIT
Some information from a hosting company about its Facebook stats. However, this information is from 2009. :|
https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=94523840758
Facebook has announced they are dropping support for IE7 (they already no longer support IE6). They have not announced numbers as far as I know. I doubt it will be worth it for you to support it as well for your Facebook app.

I have a few iphone and andriod apps and would like to collect better and more targeted user feedback for them. The feedback from the App stores is pretty generic and doesn't add much value at most times.
Any framework or website that I could use to help here? Kind of like Get Satisfaction for Mobile Apps.
If you are developing for Android, you can take a look on LetThemVote.
It's a free feedback collector service which provides an API+Client UI.
Disclaimer: I'm the developer of LTV
You might want to take a look at Promobe. They are a service for mobile app developers that provides a rich user feedback mechanism - you can define custom feedback forms for each of your apps, track that feedback, publish promotion codes, etc.
It's a new service that just went into beta but looks pretty interesting.

Thanks in advance.
You can use pretty much any language, with PHP being one of the most popular ones (after all, Facebook was written in PHP). In order to get started, check out one of the following introductory articles on Facebook app development.
