This is going to be a Container-specific policy decision.  Orkut will
likely not share Viewer data with applications running in Profile mode
- instead, the application will get a blank "stub" object for viewers
who have not explicitly shared their information with the
application.  This is to help guard each viewer's privacy, but it will
likely break the functionality you're looking for.  I can't really
speak for other sites, but I'd imagine that they would have similar
privacy-preserving policies in place.
