Do You Maintain Multiple Google Accounts ?

Do you have more than one Google Account and have associated different Google services with different account.

For instance you have two Google Accounts - one is associated with Google Analytics, AdSense and Blogger while my second Google Account is connected to Gmail, google Docs, Calendar and Orkut.

Now that's a problem because each time when you open Google Docs or Gmail, You have to log out form Blogger or Google Analytics because they have separate login credentials. This is so tiring and unfortunately Google won't let you to merge two separate Google accounts.

Here is something you can do to reduce you login logoff cycles:

Blogger : The Trick is to convert you blog into a team blog but you still remain the sole author.

Step 1 .
            - Go to settings
            - Permissions
            - Type the email address associated with second Google Account

Thus you will be able to create or edit blog posts, modify blog templates, approve comments and do everything else using either of your Google Accounts since both enjoy admin privileges.

Google Analytics :  Like Blogger, Google Analytics also allows you to add new users with administration accounts.

Step 1.
           - Go to Access Manager inside Google Analytics
           - Click the "+Add User" link
           - Change the access type as "Account Administrator"

Now you will be able to manage Analytics reports from either Google Accounts.

Orkut : While it is not possible to add co-users in Orkut. you can try a different approach- make you main Orkut accoun a friend of the secondary account. So if you are logged into Orkut using you secondary Google Account, you will still be able to view Scraps left by other friends.

Google Mail : Gmail Offers a useful Mail Fetcher feature that automatically downloads email from one Gmail Inbox into another.

You can set this mail fetcher for the Gmail address associated with your secondary Google Account and check email event when you are not logged in into you primary Gmail Inbox.

Google AdSense : I have setup a couple of CSV reports that are delivered to my Inbox every morning so I do need not check my AdSense earning manually.

Now the above tricks don't apply to all Google Services (like: Reader, Google Docs, Google Maps, etc) So you may want to check out this Firefox Hack -Headache of Logging In and Out Multiple - No more.

Google Translate, Now With Voice Input

Google Chrome 11 added support for HTML speech input API. " With this API, developers can give web apps the ability to transcribe your voice to text. When a web page uses this feature, you simply click on an icon and then speak into your computer's microphone. The recorded audio is sent to speech servers for transcription, after which the text is typed out for you." Google Translate is the first Google service that uses this feature. If you use Google Chrome 11 Beta , Google Chrome 12 Dev / Canary or a recent Chromium build and visit Google Translate (Click Here) , you can click the voice input icon. Right now, this feature only works for English, so you need to select "English" from the list of input languages.
