Hi JSON. Actually, calling viewer.getId() should return the OpenSocial ID, not the orkut ID. You can get the corresponding orkut ID by parsing the PROFILE_URL field, but the orkut ID is generally not very useful for applications unless you want to link directly to a user's profile or application view (in an orkut update, for example). Aside from this technique of parsing PROFILE_URL, there is no mapping function between the IDs.
