I have a blog and use Social RSS to send the feeds to facebook Fan page Wall. When some one comments on that. i want that to be captured and published on my blog. will that be possible ?
Can use graph api, keep checking the last comment time on that post, if its greater than the one on the blog, pull all the comments and publish on the blog.
Cant think of a way for real time update.

We are fishing posts, comments and so on for clients that have business pages on Facebook using the feed. Now Facebook permits business pages to reply to comments. Sadly in the feed, the replies to the comments are not included. Does anyone know how to include these in the feed?
I can't believe that we need to make a call for each comment one by one to Facebook using FQL or similar just to know if it has replies.
Any information is very welcome.
You have to find the post id to get all the comments-
select text from comment where post_id=
I have a wordpress blog. Is it possible to publish a link to facebook so that the published link on my facebook business page has the same like counter as the one on the blog?
Also, can the comments section be the same? (i.e. if I post the link on facebook, when someone comments, it automatically updates the comments section of the blog post and vice versa?)
This is not possible, each set of likes and comments are independent. There is no way to perform a merge of this data currently.
The Facebook Wordpress plugin provides essentially most of what you can do currently to link Wordpress to the Facebook API http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook
You can't link the like counter of your posts and pages to your Facebook page, why? They're all separate post and pages. It only makes sense.
What you can do? You can announce your post on Facebook (timeline or business page) and all can comment on it. You can add Facebook comments to your posts and pages. The commenter has the choice of that comment showing up in his Facebook timeline. People can "like" the post announcement, or the post itself if you have the Like button on it. They both act separately because for people to actually like your post, they have to visit the page. For analytics it makes sense because you want to know who is in your Facebook page and who actually clicks to visit your site. Both are not the same, and that's the point.
If you want to actually merge your site with Facebook, it will have to be in the form of a Facebook app. If that's the direction you want to take, I believe you can find some help here on the matter.
I would like my Facebook app to post personalized updates to users on their feeds, without posting on their walls.
Per the facebook documentation http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/ the feed IS the wall.
feed The user's wall.
So the answer is "No".
There is actually no way to post something on a "Wall" but "Feed" in Facebook via API. They are practically the same place.
You can create post in feed and Facebook will decide if that post will appear in user's wall according to many aspects that wasn't clearly described (and possibly will never be due to Timeline).
There is also a bit old but interesting article Facebook’s Wall vs. News Feed Explained by Pixel Coaching that you may want to read.
I have a self-hosted wordpress blog that I would like to get some more interaction with facebook users. Of course I can import the RSS to the page, and people will be able to post comments on fb, or click on the RSS link and post comments on the blog.
However, I would like to have all comments always be appearing on the blog – and potentially post blog entries to facebook so they get posted in full, and not just as a link to an RSS feed.
How is that possible?
You could look into the Facebook comments for Wordpress, I haven't used the plugin yet but I think it offers the solution you're looking for.
To publish your full articles on Facbook, take a look at the Facebook Static FBML. This Facebook application lets you import rss feeds wile keeping control over the layout.
Don't know if this is what your looking for but I would go with some plugins and the Facebook app.

I have a website that allows people to post events and it automatically posts their events to facebook if they so choose. I also integrated facebook comments on the event pages on my website.
Is it possible to merge the comments that people leave on my website's event pages with the comments that people leave on the facebook event page that was automatically made for them? I can't seem to find any documentation on this.
Edit: Just to clarify: The comments on my website are done via the facebook-comments API, they are not a module of my application.
Adding a separate answer, as after clarification it's significantly different.
If you want to basically have the wall of your event show up on your website, you can use the Event API to pull in wallposts and display them. To be able to post to that wall, you would have to do some custom coding to authenticate the user with publish_stream permission and then have a form on your site that would post to the event's wall, as noted in the post section of the above link.
Someone may have done this already and put code out there, but I doubt there is an easier way to get your ideal situation up and running. This use case isn't as automagic as the comments box, unfortunately.
If you're just looking to spread your events socially, however, the comments box will post to the commenters' walls with a link to your event page, which can then in turn point them to the Faecbook event. You might be able to use the Facebook event's URL as the URL for your comment box on the website, so it would just post a link directly to the Facebook event, but I'm not sure on that one.
I looked at this in my app, and we ended up deciding to just maintain separate streams. This is because it's only a one-way integration - you can get comments from Facebook via the Graph API and format them on your own website, in-line with your website comments, but there's no way to push comments from your website up to Facebook.
You could, if you wanted, just use the Facebook comment form for all comments - this has been done by big sites such as TechCrunch, and is effective, but it requires users to have a Facebook, AOL, Yahoo, or Hotmail account. Whether you want to do that or not depends on your preferences and userbase.
there a tool that combines comments form different pages or different sources
Check https://feedgun.com which works on pulling comments from different sources like YouTube videos, existing wordpress sites, facebook comments plugins and even DIsqus account and combine them all together and publish them on any of your webpages, and it all works automatically once you set them where to pull and where to publish.
