Thank you for your answer. I'm a newbie in google api and opensocial stuff, so sorry if my questions are to simple. I played a little with opensocial (in this case 0.7). What I can receive inside a container is e.g. the - Name of the viewer (viewer.getDisplayName()) - but this is working in orcut not in igoogle. - the ID (viewer.getID()) - this seems to work everywhere. So I could use e.g. the ID to create my user in my database and recognize him. But I would prefer to know the viewers email address, this should also be uniqe. Here are two questions: - How can I get the viewers email address? - If one is not logged in, he is never able to add a gadget somewhere? In other words - can I assume, the a user, who uses a gadget is logged in to a google service? What happens with the viewers data, if he adds a gadget to other websites, is the ID or the google email address also available there?
