Having to open multiple browsers so you can be signed in to different accounts at the same time may not be the biggest problem in the world, but it can be a pain in the neck. But hooray for Google – check your account settings today, and you should find you can turn on Multiple sign-in!
Head over to your account page. It’s pretty simple, but Google are careful that you understand exactly what you’re doing – you need to check four statements to show you are fully aware of what Multiple sign in will do.
Why all the questions? It seems mainly to be because turning it on means Offline Mail and Calendar will cease to function. Personally, while I thought those offline features were cool when they came out, I’ve really never used them, as being offline is such a rare event.
In other email news, Hotmail – as it is now called once more – has completed rolling out its new version. Before you break out the champagne, however, I regret to say it still features that annoying front page before you can get to your inbox. There are also bunches of ads and the whole thing is still much uglier than Google’s minimal Gmail masterpiece. It seems despite their successes with Bing (it might actually be cool!), Microsoft can’t get back into the groove with their webmail service… Bingmail, anyone?
