How to be logged into multiple Gmail accounts or any other account

I have multiple Gmail accounts, one for personal, one for work, and one just to play around with, and there have been times were I want to see all  my accounts at the same time.  How do I solve this issue? Well, I have been doing this for a long time and taking it for granted until I told my friend about it. I was surprised he didn't know . In order to have multiple Gmail accounts open or any other account open at the same time you can either do two things.

  1. Now all three of the most popular browser, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome have a privacy mode. You can have one account in normal mode and the other account in privacy mode. That way you will have two windows of each with a different account and you can see both at the same time.
  2. The Second way is to have different browsers. You may pick from the following three  Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. Open one account in one browser and the other in account in another browser.
You can either chose either if these steps and it will solve your problem. Happy browsing!!

Google Takeout - Who is hungry!

Sorry! No, Google does not have a food service but something similar. It's not with food but with your data. Now, your data is very valuable to you but also to online companies.  If you are a Google user you might use the majority of their services.  It's a scary thought that one day all your mail, posts, contacts, and other things will always stay up there without being able to have a copy.  Luckily, the data liberation team, "an engineering team at Google whose only purpose is to make it easy for users to move their data out of Google products, has been involved in Google Takeout . Yes, here is where i got the pun. If you head over to Google.com/takeout you may export all your data from Google to keep locally.  I was very excited when I heard about this because I truly believe the user should be in full control,  like the data liberation team states in their mission statement...

"Users should be able to control the data they store in any of Google's products.  Our team's goal is to make it easier to move data in and out."

 

Take advantage of this and really push for other companies to be  open with there data.

Google Chrome Cloud Print - Print from anywhere

Google recently released a sweet feature. This feature allows you to print to your home computer from anywhere.  Imagine being at school and sending documents to print on your home computer. Sweet!  In oder for this to work, you need a couple of things.

First, download the Chrome browser if you do not have it. You need the latest version.

Second, in your Chrome browser,  click the wrench icon, click options, click the tab "Under the hood" and click "Sign in to Google cloud print."

Once you do this, the Google service will try to establish the right settings with your printers. It might take a few minutes.  To print click the wrench icon and click "print." After everything has been set up,  you're ready to print. Right now Google supports Google Cloud Print through their own services only.  They claim to be working hard to spread the features around to make it easier to print.

Here is a link to frequently asked questions.

A browser within a browser

Today's tip focuses on your internet browser. If you are like me, you might use another browser other than Internet Explorer exclusively. Even though Explorer has come a long way with IE 9 showing promise, it will not replace Firefox or Chrome as my primary browser. On the other hand, there are times were  IE is required to view pages or utilize some functionality. Fortunately, there is an option which opens up IE via an add-on, IE Tab. Both add-ons enable you to view an IE page in a tab.
