I want to add an auto-update feature for my application, but I don't have a server or a good host for making this feature. Can I use Dropbox or any other free services to add this feature to my programs?

As far as I can tell, there is nothing in the Dropbox terms and conditions to forbid you from using it to distribute updates for your software. I you want legal advice on what you can and cannot do, then please consult a lawyer, not a bunch of programmers.

There's plenty of websites that offer this service for free, like this one.
The input/output for the service is perfect. Here's a url, and it gives me back some XML.
Does anyone know of a similar service that is available as an API, so I can just call it by passing a site url, and it return some xml?
Not free. But you could use the command line version of A1 Sitemap Generator. It can do what you want, see: http://www.microsystools.com/products/sitemap-generator/help/automate-sitemap-build-upload/
Otherwise, I believe you can find some old PHP scripts that create sitemaps, and then maybe tailor them to your needs? One example might be: http://enarion.net/tools/phpsitemapng/

I cant find the licensing information for runwithfriends sample FB app. Can any one please point me to a link with this info? Searched exhaustively but cant find anything. I want to edit this app a lot to make my own app since the functionality of my app is little similar.
Can we freely use sample apps to build our own? Are they bound with a license?
Licensing info can be found at the top of main.py.

I wondered if there was some stock market api that would allow me to create an indepenant website to display a certain corporation's stock info.
I've looked at Google Finance API and apparently you can only use it to make iGoogle gadgets so that won't work.
Yahoo actually does this quite well. They offer web services that you can get quotes from.

I believe you are incorrect about the Google Finance API (no longer available). There is a Javascript API which you should be able to use in any ordinary web application.

Can anyone share with me what they think is the best and easiest to learn rapid application development for building Rich Internet Applications? Preferably free but if the one you're suggesting is worth it, I might consider purchasing it if it's that easy to use. Thank you to those who'd answer!
Try Wavemaker, its a nice and easy RAD tool for RIA, the learning curve is not too steep

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.
