Hi Murali,
Looks like you are trying to get the VIEWER ID. You can get the viewer
object with the following snippet.
function requestMe() {
var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest(
opensocial.IdSpec.PersonId.VIEWER),
"viewer");
req.send(handleRequestMe);
};
function handleRequestMe(data) {
var viewer = data.get("viewer");
if (viewer.hadError()) {
*//Handle error using viewer.getError()...*
return;
}
*//No error. Do something with viewer.getData()...*
}
Search for viewer.getData() function. This might be useful too

Ok, I am new to opensocial and haven't written a single gadget yet. So
people correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks
