What I'd like access to is everything inside the account profile. There is a "real name" for google acounts. Even non-gmail google accounts. I'm surprised the users object doesn't give me access to this so I was wondering what others were doing.
Do I need to implement the Google Account API? This seems like it would be a common problem from app engine developers that are leveraging the google accounts infrastructure for their apps.
