I have always wanted this feature. I have two Gmail accounts that I use heavily. But like other email services, you could log in to only one Gmail account from your browser. I have used CookieSwap add-on for Firefox for some days. And I have to say that it is quite good as an alternative. With a few clicks you can swich back and forth and use multiple Gmail accounts at the same time. By the way, it is not only for Gmail, you can swap cookies and switch any web service that you have multiple web accounts. [...]
I was just going through the new products in Google Labs. And that’s where I stumbled on to this project called Follow Finder. Now when Google has introduced it’s own microblogging platform called Google Buzz, it’s a bit refreshing to see that some guys in Google have tried their hands in Twitter experiment. This service is meant to find out new people whom you most likely to follow. [...]
Yes, Google Blogger allows adult content. But obviously there are some restrictions. I will copy directly from Blogger’s Content Policy to show you what kind of adult content is not allowed in your Blogger blogs:
Adult Content: We do allow adult content on Blogger, including images or videos that contain nudity or sexual activity. But, please mark your blog as ‘adult’ in your Blogger settings. Otherwise, we may put it behind a ‘mature content’ interstitial. [...]
First of all, I dont use Google Analytics as my visitor tracker. This blog is not a business site and I have been quite happy with Ritecounter.com for more than a few years now. It gives me all the traffic statistics that I need.
But here is something that I have found about Google Analytics: [...]
Have your ever checked your page load time with Google Page Speed? Perhaps you have checked the site loading time using some other speed test services. But you can do it by using Google’s own Page Speed Service. For that you need FireBug addon with Firefox web browser. But frankly speaking, I was never not too excited about it. The page speed activity looked somewhat clumsy to me. First of all, it will display all the request and response times for whole open browsing session. That means if you have more than a site opened in your Firefox then the log will get mixed up with all the service times across the domains in a single console. And the individual request time just comes and goes through the console. So when a processing is finished like a image loading or Javascript execution, those timings will vanish from console. If you want to monitor times, you have to stop Page Speed Activity in the middle of page loading. That is rather inconvenient. By the way, check this manual from Google to learn in detail how to test page load speed of a single site and monitor times in log. [...]
Yeah, just few hours ago I got a mail from Google Apps team. In 2010 they are planning to phase out support for several old browsers that are not supported even by their own manufacturers. And that includes Internet Explorer 6. This is what they have said in the email:
Dear Google Apps admin, [...]

Yeah! That’s true for all present Google Webmaster Tools users who have verified their sites using meta tag method. The meta tag generated for the verification process used to depend on the email address of the user’s Google account. So if you change your email address, all the sites that you have verified will become unverified. But just a few days ago Google came out with a tweak on the verification process. From now on, the new meta tags generated for site verification will not depend on the email & will remain same whether you change your email address or not. [...]
