Is there an Facebook app to share the github activity in the news feed and summarize it in a timeline snippet?
The user should be able to select the types of activity to post in the Facebook news feed.
Twitter integration is nice to have.
P.S.: The Facebook app search currently only returns 1 app "Github repositories" which seems to be offline.
Github service hook is what you are looking for. You you need an app to Github, not to Facebook.
I recently made a research on this area, but never tried these modules:
https://github.com/johanbrook/github-facebook-hook
I hope it will work or at lease help you to continue the research
Now I've found the tool I wanted: http://Geekli.st (they want to build the largest community for geeks / developers)
You can link your github account through a button at the bottom of your profile settings.
See the relevant blog post and video screencast for a demo:

Is it possible to create applications on Google Plus in the same manner as Facebook?
In other words, "Apps on Facebook are web apps that are loaded in the context of Facebook in what we refer to as a Canvas Page". Does a similar API exist for google plus?
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
Thanks.
Short answer: No
Slightly longer answer: There are some vendors who have access to a Game API, which appears to work very similarly to Facebook's API, but this API isn't public yet, and there is no clear indication how to get access. There is also the Google+ Hangout API, which is public, that lets you write applications that run inside a hangout. This works similarly to how a Facebook app works, but are limited to working inside a hangout only.
Definitive answer: https://developers.google.com/+/ contains references to all the public APIs that work with Google+, including the Hangout API.

I am making a iphone app for my local school.
I have a good grasp on obj-c and stuff.
Once I am done with this app the students will be supplying 100% of the content through blogger or something else.
my question is what service (if any) would you use for the RSS feed?
blogger? etc???
I need it to be simple enough that kids can summit the content.
in the app there will be a NEWS, EVENTS, BLOG, and CONTACT pages
thanks,
I'd use wordpress or blogger, depending on your own taste. Both can publish rss feeds like the ones you're looking for.
A more interesting option might be google docs.
-Create spreadsheet and press press the "share with everyone" under sharing options
-Go to "Files->Publish as web page", press publish and check the flag that makes it automatically republish on changes
-When it has been published you can press the "web page" select-box and click "RSS".
And bingo, you've got a spreadsheet wherein you can publish all your data. Of course it doesn't have quite as much interface-niceties as wordpress or blogger, but you get full control over your feed.
Here's an example of a feed from a google doc I just made:

I would like to post to facebook a message without having to request the users approval.
Can this be done with integrated Windows Phone tools or must i access manually the facebook api? I see that ShareLinkTask requires your approval, are there alternatives?
UPDATE i would like this feature to post scores and achievements and not have to bother the user.
You have to request permission via the API to access users profile on facebook. Posting to a users wall or sending them a message without any approval would be bypassing facebook's platform policy and should facebook find out about this activity they will surely shut down your application and possibly block your developer account.
NOT recommended.
You should ask for the correct permissions from your users and act according to the policy of the platform on witch you are developing.

Can anyone please tell how to add the following kind of poll in a facebook business page...
http://www.facebook.com/hm?v=app_60082431253
It shows in the wall as well as in its own tab.. I can vote from the wall, comment and Like.. excellent feature it is.. but no information about it anywhere :(
Its not available from facebook anymore. I think its because of some of the privacy concerns people have about this app.
From my knowledge, it was a custom-made Poll that Facebook previously made for huge brands willing to pay $ 10, 000 and up. It is no longer available.
However Appbistro.com has a similar Tab app that may fulfill your needs:
Poll Tab
I'm a Facebook developer and I just created a Facebook app that looks like the one you point out. It lets you create a poll and publish it on your Facebook page. Try it out and let me know what you think of it :

I'm a Facebook programmer newbie.
Could anybody recommend good resources for starters?
I believe it has something to do with PHP.
I have written the following to help people get a jump start on Facebook Application Development.
How to Use the Facebook Developer Toolkit 2.0
How to Style an Application Like Facebook
How to Integrate Facebook Connect
Actually, you can write Facebook applications in most languages. The Facebook Developer Site is a good place to start.
If you have already added the facebook developer application there is a link to the developer forums. And of course it appears stackoverflow is a great place for such questions as well.
There is a book entitled: "Facebook Cookbook: Building Applications to Grow Your Facebook Empire" I liked it
Here You can find some interesting material: 50 Resources for Facebook Application Developers.
you could try FBML Essentials by Jesse Stay and Facebook Application Development (Programmer to Programmer).
