I have a google of googles.

Took me a while to figure out how to get in, then I realized my mistake, I was trying to log into this blog from the wrong account. Duh!  You would think that using 3 google accounts for years I would know better, but apparently not.  A couple of years ago google made it a little easier, but allowing you to switch user accounts from within Chrome without having to log out, or us multiple browsers.  With the number of people that have a work and personal account, you would think that they could make it even easier by linking them so if you tried logging in with the wrong account, Google would notice and alert you.

Google account
1 for school
1 for University of Phoenix, though they recently dropped it in favor of Office 365 and I quit working for them
1 personal google account. 
defunct accounts
1 UOP account that I created so I could migrate my material when they closed the google apps access, but you couldn't share across domains yet.
1 google account for my school email, before we became GAFE
Manage
my 3 daughter's accounts

Google should pay me, seriously.  and while I am ranting, why does one have to pay to become Google Certified?

Anyone one else juggling multiple google accounts?

  1. Bill,
    I have two google accounts. One personal I use primarily for graduate course work and online orders. The second is my school district issued account which I use exclusively for school related business.
    I do also have a hotmail account for even more personal use.
    Like you, I have gotten myself confused at times as to which account I've used to set up other web connections.

  2. Oh Bill! Just looking at that list drives me crazy! I would not be able to handle all of those different accounts, etc. I think three email accounts (two are connected) is enough to manage. Good luck is all I can say!

    Very frustrating when I'm working in one account, but try to access something I should be able to, then Google says I need to logout of one of the other accounts before I can get where I want to go. (longer story here, but won't get into it.)
