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).

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.

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:

I'm looking for an iphone friendly feedback service that can be visited by web browser in my iphone application
I have been checked uservoice and getsatifaction, they are only for desktop browsing, not friendly for iphone
Crittercism (http://www.crittercism.com) also has a great product optimized for iphone/ipad and android. They also do crash reporting which is nice.
Zendesk http://www.zendesk.com/ is more for customer service but works great in iphones (and blackberry etc)
Neewmare (www.neemware.com) provides app developers the ability to ask very targeted questions inside their app on any screen. You could check it out. (Disclaimer: I work at Neemware.)
We have a native iOS feedback form that you can link with your iphone app.
For more info: Adding Feedback To Your iPhone App
The page also has a link to our free app in the AppStore that shows the feedback form in action.
Our service also provides a feedback button and feedback form for websites and WordPress blogs.
Get Satisfaction does have a great iPhone client framework. It's called Satisfaction Remote Component. If you want to see it live, check out the app Ambiance

I just wanted to know if there is any (preferently freeware) solution to provide live chat support in my website, but connected to a Live Messenger account, because I would like to answer by this way.
You can try eBuddy embed. They provide widget to be embed in your webpage to chat with you.
I'm not sure there's any easy way to do this with Live Messenger.
If you can use Yahoo! Messenger instead of Live Messenger, they provide a nice easy free widget which does what you want, called Yahoo! Messenger Pingbox.
If you are using ASP.Net and OK with using Silverlight, you can look into this flexible option. It is a Polling duplex solution easy to implement. For PHP Chantlive is an option.
I think I'll try Windows Live Messenger Web Toolkit to develop my white-labeled solution, but thanks to all of you guys!
Take a look at olark (olark.com). Super easy to embed on the page, and it works with most chat clients, so you don't have to use new software.

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 :
