I need to have a graph database which contains connected friendlist of facebook users which use my android app. Not necessarily a graph, any ways to maintain a connected friend list and relations among them are welcome.
A person does a facebook login to my android app which has a Parse based mobile backend. This backend will be communicating to a graph database of facebook friendlists, to create and retrive nodes/relations. I spent hours with graphenedb/neo4j/heroku and couldn't lift off. Need a pointer to a quick way or a totally different approach. The volume will be less as it is just a POC now. Moreover, the database must be deploy friendly to quickly test the POC.
Go with http://www.graphenedb.com/, it's a Neo4j instance running in the cloud. For more detailed answer your question should be more detailed.
The original comment is accurate - there's many factors involved. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database
for a reasonable listing of software, including a simple feature grid. The term 'easily implementable' is such an arbitrary measurement, there really isn't a good way to help.

Where can i have a data set to make predictive analysis in my data mining project? does Face book twitter provide any of its data set for Research?
Both platforms do not explicitly provide sample data. You didn't specify what data you're interested, profiles, posts, etc., but you should have.
As of the Graph API v2.0 changes, the search for public Facebook Posts has been deprecated, so you'll have a hard time getting data out. Profiles use now the app-scoped user_ids, which also makes it harder. The only thing I could imagine is to use the /search endpoint to search for user names. But this doesn't make much sense, and the data you'd get without having explicit permission from the users is not really useful.
Concerning Twitter, you could use the use the Streaming API to consume tweets from the platform, see https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis/streams/public

Can you recommend a CMS that exposes the entire stored content through some kind of API (HTTP, XML-RPC, web service)?
I want to use it only for creating/editing content, and the content will be then retrieved from another site.
For instance, Wordpress has the type of API I am looking for, but unfortunately it lacks some of the functionality I need (hierarchically organized articles and media, article and image ordering, image galleries...).
You should take a look at http://osmek.com/ or http://expressionengine.com/ with the Export it plugin. It allows for channels to be pulled using a REST API.
I have been on a crusade to separate the CMS from the front-end of all of my projects and I have used ExpressionEngine in the past and really dig it. Another plugin that you may like with EE is Playa,it allows for relational data models.
Good luck

With so many tools and technologies lying around, I am looking for suggestions around the best ones (UI/server-side frameworks/database/CMS) to use for building a web(site/app) similar to Facebook itself.
Details of the website cannot be revealed due to privacy concerns. But largely, the experience and interactions would be similar to what Facebook has (such as continuous feeds, groups, upload data/files, comments, etc.), just that it would be in a different domain.
Information (or links) on what technologies/frameworks are such sites/portals using will also be of great help!
Elgg is a great start. they have numerous plugins (some that even make it look very similar to facebook). I've seen some prototypes that where built in a few days that have tons of functionality
The simple answer is PHP. But people likely imagine a LAMP stack.
Facebook has reengineered the front side and back side of PHP, as I understand it. They use the HipHop compiler to cut the cost of execution of PHP. And I don't know the details, but they have some kind of backside distributed database they use instead of PHP/LAMP traditional use of MySQL.
(See http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=24413138919 for a description of one of the mechanisms they use, Cassandra).
If you don't care about scale, you can skip these two steps and save a lot of engineering.

does anyone know a AJAX based chat client that connects to a Jabber server, and does the same things as Facebook or Netlog chatbar, plus Multi User Chat (MUC).
I love the UI of cometchat.com/demo (left side of the chatbar is for MUC, right side Web-IM for my friends)
The only client I found until now is http://www.ijab.im/ - which is very new and doesn't speak MUC yet.
If anybody knows other libraries - thanks for sharing!
I recommend using strophejs and the book Professional XMPP with jquery and Javascript by Jack Moffitt.
strophejs is pretty much low level but very powerful, and the book code samples take you everywhere you want to go.
And, complementing Christopher's comment, speeqe.com is written in part by Moffitt and using strophejs !
You could take a look at speeqe.com — "a web based, group chat client that works with the XMPP/MUC protocol."
It's open source too..

I have found services like ClearSpring and Widgetbox for putting content snippets onto a widget range of social networking web sites, but I would like to build my own widgets without a third party dependency. I have been looking but I have not yet found a good resource to learn how to create widgets/gadgets for multiple sites. It was easy to build a gadget for iGoogle, but Facebook, MySpace and the others are less obvious.
What is a good resource to create content snippets for multiple sites?
It is actually more than just different standards. The context of different networks make it harder to map 1 to 1. Sure there is overlap, but each network has a large delta from each other.
Its managing the delta that's the hard part, not learning the different syntaxes.
In the mobile space there are few products, like OpenFeint and PhoneGap.
Most developers tend to roll their own framework since it is such a volatile space.
it seems that they're converging on two camps:
- FaceBook
- everybody else (using OpenSocial)
your iGoogle widget is OpenSocial, so it's almost ready to be used on MySpace and others. now go to FaceBook to cover all.
