AppEngine has Users service to access Google account information. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide access to the Google account's many properties, specifically name and profile picture. Could anyone advise a proper way of retrieving that information?

Hey Rob,
  You should check out the gdata APIs. I think this information may be accessible with the provisioning API, but I don't recall for sure.
