I need to use some API by my own mobile app. But I want lock access from 3d party mobile apps. How can I do this?
I talking not about authorization. I just don't want, that somebody write application which use API on my website.
You can't reliably block 3rd party clients without machine to machine authentication.
I suggest using an API key as a general approach. This question explains how it might be implemented at a high level
However:
What's best for you depends entirely on the framework that you're using, it's always best to use an existing framework for security.

trying to develop an application that takes data from a user's respective Blackboard account and display that information in a different way. I have been reading the blackboard API documentation and I guess I have to go to an administrator with an App ID in order for me to obtain this kind of access. What type of information should I provide the admin being as I don't even know what an App ID is, let alone provide it. I'm just a student trying to make my life easier by consolidating information that's already available to me on blackboard. I appreciate any guidance on the development process.
The documentation you'll likely want to start with is at https://docs.blackboard.com/ - of particular note is the REST / Getting Started section. See also the swagger docs for the API, which detail the needed entitlements for each API call.

I have a REST service based on mvc 4 and web api. I need to monitor all the users who are using my service (eg: user name , organization that user belongs to, how many hours he is accessing service and so). can you please provide best architecture for this. what is the best way to doing this?
You can use a custom HttpMessageHandler for doing authentication and track all the information you need about the user in a database. You will need some background processing of that data and doing some statistics about the usage of the API. About the message handler, a good start is the one provided in Thinktecture.IdentityModel library (You can customize it),

How to know that, the system you are building is a better as Desktop Application than an Web Application?
My top 3:
I need to use/control the hardware directly (printer, graphic card...).
I don't care if my project is platform dependant.
Need complex user interface (OK Web 2.0 is better than ever, but it's still hell to make advanced specialized stuff to work in all Web browsers).
Interesting question. in practice the answer hinges primarily on the deployment requirements:
If you want very broad and "instant" deployment - then use HTML and HTTP.
if you or your organization have administrative control over the computers on which the app will be deployed, making it a "desktop app" is acceptable.
Most apps lie between those extremes.
It depends on your target audience, desired features, and what delivery method makes the most sense.
It might help to answer these questions:
1) Who will use this?
2) What will they do with it? (think about thinks like media operations, data storage,..)
3) How will they best be able to get this app?
4) What operating system(s) will it support?

I'm looking for a "Chat Now" component to add to my website. I am using Drupal (running on a Windows server) if it matters.
I'm looking for something that the client initiates (I do not want to hound a client looking at my site). I want there to be no extra installs required for the client.
On my side, I want it to integrate with Skype or another common instant messaging tool.
I prefer free, but if it is low-cost (not a monthly fee) I would also be interested.
I like http://oggchat.com/ since it routes your chats to GTalk and GMail.

How can integrate particular Third party tool with my vb.net application
Using Interop you can do Call Shell("tool.exe")
More details are definitely required, if you're still interested, but roughly speaking it depends on whether by 'integrate' you mean just triggering another application from yours or do you actually require back 'n' forth communication between these apps, whatever they are.
I can't remember the VB.NET specifics and I don't have it available right now, but in C# you could simply trigger another application like this:
using System.Diagnostics;
Process.Start("<shell command, e.g. fred.exe>");
