add information to a container

[Acerezo]

Does anyone knows if we can add fields to a container (myspace, orkut,
etc)? These fields need to store the user information calculated of
my application.

Thanks.

orkut supports the OpenSocial persistent API which lets you set string values for arbitrary keys. This data is programatically accessible, but does not show up on user profiles. Also, I don't believe MySpace supports this part of the API.

Are you using a client library or the OpenSocial JavaScript API?

You can only update app data for the current viewer (@viewer), not for specific user IDs. But if you're using two-legged OAuth, which you likely are if you're working with orkut, then you can set the VIEWER_ID property to any OpenSocial ID, which should allow you to set app data for the user with that ID. Note that the user will have to have the app installed on their profile or else you'll see a 401 response.
