Hi Vijaya,

I expressed my concerns in another thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-orkut/browse_thread/thread/9d593f6addab719

I don't understand what the goal of this new policy.

Basically, by using the Orkut website, a user has access to (all) his
own photos as well as to his friends photos (those that the friends
shared with him).
What I would like is for the API to provide the same level of access.
Every photo you can see using the Orkut website should also be
accessible using a gadget. And without having to grant this access
more than once (at the installation is enough).

Also, I hope the checkbox "Allow access to photos" will be checked by
default (like the others)... Read the other thread for details.

What do you think?

Pierre Henri.
