Hi Abhinav,

   You can pass parameters to your Orkut applications by appending
"up_" to the start of the parameter you wish to forward.

For example:

.../Application.aspx?uid=XX&appId=YY&up_user_visited_from=ZZ

Will give you a parameter named "up_user_visited_from" in your
application that you can get by calling:

     var from = _args()["up_user_visited_from"];

This is also registered as a user preference value named
"user_visited_from".  You can get this by calling

     var prefs = new _IG_Prefs();
     var from = prefs.getString("user_visited_from");


Hope this helps,
~Arne
