Have anyone heard Facebook say anything about adding the possibility to specify the privacy when publishing an action? I wonder if it's something they plan for the near future or if it will take longer time for them to implement.
Background
The "App activity privacy" let's the user set who should be able to see actions published by the app. I would like my app to set the privacy for each and every action the app publishes, just as an app can do for wall posts by specifying the "privacy" field.
Edit 2012-05-24
I attended Facebook Developer Garage in Stockholm yesterday and had the opportunity to ask what Facebook's plan is. The answer was that Facebook did think a lot about adding flexible privacy settings, but decided that they want it as simple as possible for the user. They want to let the user decide the privacy settings for everything the app publishes once and the users can currently do this when they add the app. You never know when Facebook change their minds but currently they don't have a plan for decent privacy settings.
Facebook have now added the "privacy" parameter when publishing actions.
See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/
Case closed.
Edit: As Angel García Olloqui pointed out, the privacy field can only have the values ALL_FRIENDS or SELF. Pretty useless for now.
Edit: I added a more complete answer to the question.
Access token generates corresponding to your all permissions which appear on the first startup of the application. Then by using that access token app enables to get some information from user

We are trying to show the company updates done for our company on LinkedIn in the companies intranet. After visiting the developer site, we are able to create the token and pull the required information. The challenge is with the login prompt that would come up on the intranet home page. We want to avoid it.
This post mentions we need a token (that we have) and also user should be logged in to LinkedIn. So we guess it is a limitation.
However, the developer site mentions about 'partnership with Linkedin' and says if you become a consumer partner following is possible. It says you have higher functionality and thresholds.
"Create personalized and engaging user experiences for your audience by combining LinkedIn data and functionality into custom websites and mobile applications"
We tried reaching to Linked Developer Support with no response from them. Can anyone here confirm if we can Avoid login prompt for Company data with Consumer Partner?
I am consulting with a group that has several users on their GA account. How can I see the scheduled email each person set up to make sure they're correct and do I can assist them when they have problems?
If it can't be done, can someone please point me to an official Google statement saying it can't be done?...at least that way I can tell my boss :)
Thanks!
That cant be done. As to pointing you to Googles Statement of why it cant be done the only thing I can give you is the current documentation for the API.
IMO this feature would be located in the Management API probably under User permissions but i'm not really sure that's the best place for it either.
User Permissions - Developer Guide
I feel this is a very good idea and added it to my long list of feature requests feel free to star it. Manage Scheduled Emails Now I'm not sure they will add it I think they may decided that there is to grate a spam risk with this. But we will have to wait and see.
Tell your boss that its not currently available in the Google Analytics API but a feature request was made.
Click on the gear icon in the bottom left, then on the bottom right under 'Personal Tools & Assets', you should see Scheduled Emails. They're only visible with the view they're attached to, so if you have multiple views, you'll need to look through each one.
I am developing a website for our GTA Online Crew, basically a gaming community, my issue lies in verifying that they are the user they say they are when they register (For example if there username on social club is GTOFAN01, we want to ensure that person uses the same username on our site when they register).
As we want all website users to have the same names from social club (owned by Rockstar and I have no way to change anything on there end...) to our website to avoid confusion / posers / trolls etc.
I've had a few ideas but they all create a lot of manual work or I am not sure how to implement, but I have narrowed it down...
Let anyone register and then manually send them a confirmation code through social club to the account name they have said they are.
somehow find out who they are currently logged in as on social club, if this matches the name they supplied then let them in.
find someway to send a message to there social club message box
2 is by far the best, but I can figure out a way to achieve it... I cannot read cookies or session variables from another domain.
Any ideas?
There are several different ways of achieving "federated identity". I would recommend taking a look at OAuth and OpenId. Asp.net Identity has OAuth integration.

What's the difference between OpenID and OAuth?
The way I ended up going was generating a random qoute for the user to post on the social club (checking it didn't exist first), as the social club feed is public I can then check to see if the qoute was posted and by whom, if this matches who they told us they were then there registration is accepted.
Obviously this is not the greatest solution, but it works and as I've stated I have no control over the social club nor do they offer any way to authenticate a user.
The other befit to this method is it encourages use of the feed which we also wanted to do.
My client has reached their friends limit and so I cannot become a friend.
In the developer section under roles:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/[longId]/roles
I want to add myself as a developer.
It appears that the field is checking against existing friends as I type.
When I finish adding my email it says I am not a facebook user. Not True.
Has any one run into this?
It appears that I need to be a friend to test on the app.
I want to provide chat facility to my website visitors. This should be same as google chat (person to person communication). Are there any free tools available to integrate in the website? Or is there any way that we can use Google Chat's API and can integrate in our website?
Pls help me.
You can embed google chat into your web page, instructions here
I think a reasonable approach would involve opening an iframe that talks to a dynamic page. The dynamic page would be auto-refreshed by two or more clients and continously post to/read from a table that stores the ID of the session, timestamp, user name(or IP), and message for the chats. The ID of the session would correspond to the dynamic page ID and bob's your uncle.
I'm sure there are various implementations floating around, but I'd want to control this on my own. No user accounts required if you set it up correctly, thought finding other users may be an issue without accounts.
There are a lot of good embeddable chat widgets you can insert into a page fairly easily that do all the work for you.
I've tried out a few of the ones listed in the link above (mostly MeeboMe and Geesee) and don't have any major complaints. With that many choices you should be able to find one that meets your needs. Most don't even require a login.
