In orkut Developer's Guide we can see: "Your home server can use the REST API to communicate with orkut only if orkut users are using your application, within orkut."
- What is the reason for this requirement? - So, orkut will not allow to an external site to have the same kind of functionality permited by Facebook Connect? (Google Friend Connect permits login but doesn't allow the full possibilities of a broader integration, isn't it?)
