i am about to start developing for facebook. before i begin i wanted to know abt this little thing. is it possible to make an app that is placed on top of the user's wall above the status message box?
A:
If you are seeking for the prominent placing - the answer is no
but you can integrate an app into the wall via the publisher. http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Publisher
The areas you can fully integrate your app is the left bar and the tabs

In a nutshell, the most common places you can integrate a Facebook application are:
- The Publisher which integrates with the user's wall probably the closest thing you'll get to what you are looking for
- Application canvas (at a URL such as apps.facebook.com/your_app/)
- A profile tab (shown in the list of tabs at the top of a user's profile, another "canvas")
- The boxes tab and left-hand column of the profile page
- via Facebook Connect on a third-party site
