With SoundCloud for podcasters it's possible to add uploads to a RSS feed:

I would like to add podcast episodes through the API, using /tracks endpoint like so:
https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/reference#tracks
How do I toggle "include in RSS" when I upload a track through API?
the option is not documented, but what your looking for is 'feedable' which should have a true or false value.

what I mean is...
in facebook timeline mode,
tetris battle and glassdoor, those 2 fb apps post feed on the right hand side as picture below
http://imgur.com/RinJh
is it an original feed post?
how could I use api to post feed like this?
I'm not really sure if this is the right answer
but maybe it's a "meta tags" game, I mean facebook has multiple meta tags that you could add to your website and facebook uses to classify pages when it scrapes the web, check out step 2 in this page http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
there's for example a tag that specifies the type of the page
and song is one of the allowed values (that maybe SoundCloud is using for it's pages)
is it an original feed post?
No, these are most likely Aggregations of Open Graph actions.

When I post is published using the application on facebook, there is a small icon below, next to the like button. I want to add application name or some custom text right next to that icon. Below is a screenshot of twitter app that does what I mean. Posts are published using open graph api. Any ideas?
Those are called actions, and you can add them by sending an array of JSON objects as a parameter to your post call.
Example:
actions=[{'name':'#JemalaTony on Twitter', 'link':'http://twitter.com/#!/JemalaTony'}]
Source: Graph API > Post
I am looking to publish similar content to the following snippet from my application:
The most important tidbits here are the following:
a photo
a link
a text blurb
I'm not entirely sure where in the Graph API it makes sense for me to explore to do this. I'd like for it to show up in people's newsfeed that approve the action.
The SocialCam example in your picture is using the Open Graph part of the Facebook API. Open Graph allows you to define custom actions and custom objects for your app. The idea is to allow the user to express more specific, high-level actions beyond like, comment and share. In your example, "watch" is the Open Graph action, which is a build-in Action Type. Video is the Open Graph object, a built-in Object Type. Note that "Object" in this context is a type not an instance.
It is possible to define your app's own actions e.g. "review" and link it to custom objects e.g. "Action Movie", "Comedy" etc. You can also define properties for your actions e.g. "Rating" for a review action.
However, if all you require is a "photo, link and a text blurb" you don't have to use the Open Graph but can use the Graph API. You can post a link to a video or image by issuing a POST to:
graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/feed
with params
message
name (sender's name)
caption
link (your url)
description
picture (url to picture)
where USER_ID is the user who's wall you want to post to.
I'm pretty sure they are have set up a a facebook application and defined an action called "watch" and an object called "video". they then publish it by making a post to facebook's graph api.
Facebook walks you through some of the basics while in the management menus, once you've set up a developer account and created an application
Go through links one by one and having step by step guide from official sources. You will be able to achieve your goal.

It's possible to manually add a post to my wall for past and check "Hide from News Feed", but is there any way to post to my wall with "Hide from News Feed" option from my website with PHP?
By looking at the Graph API documentation, you can see that there is no such option for a Post. Moreover, if you retrieve a news feed from the Graph API, posts that were hidden are not present in the returned json. You can try it by querying the Grap API about your news feed, hide a post and query it again. If you compare the two jsons you will see that the hidden post is just not present in the second. So I would say that it is not possible.
I know we can search for public objects such as post, event, checkin in Open Graph API using:
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=QUERY&type=OBJECT_TYPE
However I can not search for video objects.
Is there a way to search for videos in facebook using their title or description?
You can search videos using some attributes via FQL: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/video.
Unfortunately, the title and description are not among those...
