Lately I'm starting to see interactive open graph stories. Not just links or images, but bar charts which you can hover and give you certain information.
An example (print screen) here.
Does anyone know wheter or not this feature is accessible for anyone? Or does Runkeeper has some kind of privilege? And IF it's possible, how? Couldn't find anything in the docs...
Thanks!
Yes It's accessible for anyone. After create your app on facebook you need to by a SSL Certificate but first start with non public app. Facebook needs a secure url to publish your app. Once you have your APP you need to setting up your Open Graph. In this video you will learn how to publish on facebook any activity.

My wife is starting her local business, and I would like to develop a booking application that users can use to book appointments with. Is this feasible using the facebook development tools? I tried to overview the documentation at https://developers.facebook.com but I came out with no clear answer.
What is a Facebook app?
In layman terms, it's just a window to your actual app with a bonus that you can use Facebook's social data with it. So, yes! Basically, you can pretty much do anything with it. Plus, if you are looking forward to create an app for a local business, I would recommend taking a look at page tabs from here.
Here is how a Facebook app works:
You create an app on your server.
You give it's url to Facebook (called the canvas url).
You specify the dimensions.
And that's it! Your app is up and running!
I have developed a website that uses Facebook Open Graph methods. But when i submit it facebook returned me with a message that i have to put something in my website like the image below
Where can i find a plugin like this?
I only find this one ; https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/activity/
but it's useless.
Thanks for your help.
There is no plugin like this currently available. You have to develop one yourself.
You should be using facebook connect and keeping track of all this actions as well as submitting them to graph API. If so, you only need to ad this on/off button and activity log.
This way the user has control over his activity...
For a project, I have been asked to put a complete Facebook application inside the timeline. However, I cannot find any information about this in the Facebook reference. Does anybody know if it can be done?
I believe your client wants to use the new Add To TimeLine feature. This provides another introduction from user perspective.
As an example, this image shows Spotify, NetFlix and Nike app implementations of the new feature on the timeline:
You can implement a basic "add to timeline" functionality using the JavaScript SDK although API documentation is limited.
You can also create customized app contents and aggregate contents ("movies watched this month on Netflix") for the Timeline by integrating your app with the Open Graph. Facebook has this introductory tutorial.
Probably you talking about Page Tab application for pages with Timeline.
Read the tutorial for Page Tab applications and documentation for Add to Page dialog.
For personal profiles applications in timeline is only section dedicated to actions and activities published by application to user.
I'd like to develop a Flash/Flex based application that I'll integrate withing my Page on Facebook.
I've seen on many applications that in order for a user too see more stuff on the application, user first of all has to click LIKE button on my page.
I've searched but couldn't find right thing I've been looking for, probably I don't know how to search for it correctly.
Maybe you could help me out to find right source for that.
I don't think Liking the app really matter.
What you might be looking for is authorization from the facebook users. For instance if your app need to post status update on the user's wall, you'll need to get authorisation from him/her first.
You should probably read this (rather generic) intro on facebook's developer website:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
This might be a helpful read too:
http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/116/
Finally, haven't done it in AS3 but apparently Adobe has an as3 version of the facebook sdk available:

http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/
what you are reffering to is liking a page beofore being able to interact with an application that has been embedded into a page. A page tab app.
You need to parse the signed_request that facebook passes to your application and once you have parsed it you will be able to see if the user has liked your page or not.
Here is a link to some more information about singed_requests
I have a Facebook application where I am using it in Windows phone 7 application.
I am done with share on Facebook option through my mobile application. I want to add an extra link at the bottom of my application wall post (beside the like and comment links present)
How can I achieve this? Which setting need to be set in the application settings?
The docs for integrating share functionality are at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share.
However:
We don't recommend the Share button
for new developers. If you aren't
already using the Share button, we
recommend you migrate to the Like
button and Open Graph protocol instead
of Share for sharing pages from your
website. The Like button is simpler to
user and is the recommended solution
moving forward.
Because this is implemented in HTML & JS with Facebook's own scripts you'de need to look at usingt a WebBrowserr control to embed this funcitonality on your page.
