Google is testing the option, which will allow users to use multiple accounts within the same browser as per the Google Operating System.Before, users had to develop kludgy workarounds in order to use multiple accounts. People have various roles to play online, as a personal Gmail user, contribute a group blog, use the Google Reader, Google Buzz or Google Calender. Performing these multiple tasks in one browser was not possible, which Google didn’t realize.
The new multiple log-in screen is not however widely available. It includes Google Calendar, Google Reader, Gmail, Google Sites, Google Code and Google Docs. Gmail and Buzz teams had said earlier that one big project that they are working on is to allow more fluid use for the users with both personal and professional accounts. What they need to brush up is to integrate more between the personal Google accounts and Google Apps accounts.
Google noted that they had already thought about testing such changes.
“Back in May we announced that we will be rolling out changes to our infrastructure for Google Apps accounts, giving Google Apps users access to many more services. We’re currently testing this feature with many customers to get feedback on the user experience. We look forward to bringing this big improvement to the rest of our customers soon, but we have nothing further to announce at this time.”
