Hi Aerox,
OpenSocial's API's is based on the 'viewer', 'owner' and their friends,
which makes a lot of sense, from an application perspective these are the 2
things that are relevant to the application (who's page is it == owner,
who's looking at it == viewer, so that always covers the right people :).
The great thing of this conceptual model is that it's also usable for
different types of OpenSocial sites, for instance with Google Friend Connect
the 'owner' of the page is the site name, and it's friends are the site
members... (and the viewer is just a regular person). Likewise a owner could
be a picture, a movie or anything else that could have a social context.
However privacy is very important too, and by only allowing access to the
owner and the viewer and their friends (well actually some small number of
networks hide the viewer too because of privacy concerns) you can make sure
that applications can't just mine for personal information of people who
never chose to interact with the application.
So no, it's not possible to fetch a person by his first last name, however
you can always fetch the owner and his friends, and almost always the viewer
and his friends too
