I don't really know what you mean by "mode" -- your application won't be accessed at all when a user first signs in. Only when a user views your application (navigates to its canvas page or a profile page which hosts it) will its code execute.
You'll be happy to know that the OpenSocial 0.8 specification includes a NETWORK_PRESENCE field for returning whether a user is currently signed in: http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/0.8/reference/#opensocial.Person.Field.NETWORK_PRESENCE Please note that orkut currently supports OpenSocial 0.7 applications only at this point, but does plan to support 0.8 applications when the Shindig implementation is complete. Unfortunately, I can't confirm whether orkut will support the NETWORK_PRESENCE field since it is optional, but if it does, this would be your best bet for the type of application you're planning.
