All of those return user name in some form. It's not a standard APi. If user has 2 accounts they simply have to sign out and sign in as different user in the host system.
I worked on GetSatisfaction oauth where I had to make a separate custom API call just to get the user details.

My company is intending to support Twitter, Google apps, and Yahoo apps access via Oauth. I know that part of the purpose of Oauth is to prevent the application developer from seeing the account name/password. But I am wondering if it is indeed the goal to keep the account name from the application developer. We would like to support a users ability to access multiple accounts on the same service. For example through our service the user could access two google accounts because they have two separate gmail accounts. For a proper user interface we need to be able to request, from within a given API, a call of the type "what is the username for this account". This will allow us to provide a UI that has choices for which account the user wants to be able to use. I have just been looking at the twitter API and I do not see a "what is the username for this account" call, and so I thought I would ask here if I am somehow barking up the wrong philosophical tree, and if not if anyone knows how to make such calls for twitter, yahoo and google.
