Apologies to all for bumping this topic...but I still haven't been able to find anything in the existing OpenSocial and Orkut literature that sufficiently answers the question I had about accessing an arbitrary Orkut account from a third-party application. Specifically:

I've > read in the documentation that Orkut doesn't support 3-legged auth, in > which case the users who want to authenticate through the portal and > sync multiple profiles from a single interface would have to install > an application on every profile which would allow the external site to > authenticate through it.

And if not, how would I go about writing an app that > simply allows this sort of access (would it essentially be an "empty" > app?)? Thank you again for your help and assistance!
