I was wondering where can I find beta users for my website? Are there websites that help you find beta users?
I'd suggest just submitting the site to places like Digg and Stumbleupon. You'll get a more people viewing your site, where you can offer beta testing as an option.
That's all too dependent on what sort of crowd your site targets.
Try to find a forum related to the subject and post there, and if it's general-purpose, you could try out a general forum like Something Awful.
In addition, you could create a Twitter account for the site and have your friends retweet a beta invitation; that's a quick way to get it touch with a lot of people if your site is interesting.
You can simply invite your friends to try it and tell you what they think. Social networks may be helpful.

The current solution I found involves a complex set of process, I have not figured out 100% yet. Thus, I wanted to know an expert opinion on this.
This is what I have so far:
Access Graph API endpoint /friends which will give the list of friends who are also using the app
Invite them (I have no idea how)
For an invite, I have found this, but that's already deprecated. Which uses FBSDKAppInviteDialog.
I also found this but it seems like she is just promoting their own product. If they can do it then there must be a way for me to achieve this as well. Still, I can't find it in Facebook docs.
The sad thing is, why would Facebook make this simple stuff very hard to do?
When I say that, I mean if I'm creating an APP that I want to work in conjunction with say instagram, twitch, or facebook, etc, where they log in with their account first, how could I go about that? I'd want to essentially do an ADD-ON and make it more accessible/easy for users. Where could I learn more about how to do that?
It sounds a big vague I know, but I'm not sure how else to explain it.
You are looking for an OAUTH API from any of those providers, if I am understanding your post correctly.
You would read the documentation at their relative websites and then apply what is necessary to your project.
More info on facebook here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/oauth
I am currently making an application in Ruby on Rails which requires to count all bookmarks of any given domain. I have considered Stumbles, Diggs, Delicious and Reddit for finding all bookmarks. Is there any way that this can be done?
I have looked into APIs of each of them, but did not get anything useful there. Is there any other way to directly get all bookmarks of a website no matter which marketing tool its using?
Use the delicious api for getting social bookmarks related to delicious.
For others I m not so sure.
How can you tweet from a website to twitter. I need to build a comment box that posts questions to twitter?
Thanks,

You'll need to use their API http://apiwiki.twitter.com/w/page/22554648/FrontPage
The Twitter Developer Center and the Twitter API wiki would be a good place to start.
There are libraries for plenty of programming languages already that will make development easier. Find them in the wiki.
I'm using Twitter's OAuth for my app (DroidIn)
To my dismay I can't find any way to track who and how often is using the app. Searching Twitter for "sent from DroidIn" does not yield any results. I suppose I can call some sort of counter app from my code but that doesn't seem to be fair to my users. Any ideas or suggestions?
It seems that yet again I have to answer my own question. After some investigation and feedback from question posted on Google Twitter developer group it seems that for now there are no stats easily accessible or available. Said that I found 2 interesting things:
You can search Twitter using source:yourapp switch. For example you can try this query
android source:API
There is very exciting streaming API from Twitter. I have a short write-up in my dev blog.
But if you want some actual stats there's no other choice today but implement it as part of your app. There's one more possibility if you have some sort of web-based interface you may want to use Google Analytics to trigger some Google javascript while submitting the update. I'm trying that right now and may end up with article in the blog
