i want to know if its possible to get the email of the people who are using open id to authenticate to my site of course with the user knowing that i am getting their email?
this email will be the user id of the user and i want the user to be able to loggin using any provider and then i will set this email as the user identity.
i need this information in order to design the structure of my site.
i am looking into the following open id providers.
- Gmail
- Yahoo
- Facebook Connect
- Hotmail
thanks

Use open social API’s…
OpenSocial defines a common API for social applications across multiple websites. With standard JavaScript and HTML, developers can create apps that access a social network’s friends and update feeds.

Who says the OpenID provider has the user’s e-mail to give to you? I can get an OpenID identity that’s accessed only by my fingerprint.
