Hi, I'm very interested in this topic and wonder if I could get some more information about it. I have an idea about an application and I'm trying to find out how to utilize Opensocial and/or FriendConnect for that. Ideally my application would have it's own website but in some or the other way socialize with other social networks (that's the goal). What I've not got a good understanding of yet is how the interaction can happen.
Using FriendConnect can I have access to the user's id so I can store information in relation to the user (guest) on my own server? Do I get information about the user's login, i.e. if he got authenticated or not? Could I use user ids to form my own groups and store them? Could I send actions/feeds to users that I stored ids from? I'm not sure if I'm on the right track but any bit of understanding that you could provide would be really appreciated.
