Use official multiple Google accounts sign-in feature

Posted: 03 Aug 2010 02:04 PM PDT

We have had Greasemonkey scripts for Firefox and extensions on Chrome which allow people to sign in and jump from one Google account to another with a simple click of a button.

Google has been working on multiple sign in and I think it is being made widely available with many Google accounts.

Here is a image of my accounts which I managed to get multiple sign in option to be enabled.

How to enable Multiple Google accounts?

Just head over your Google accounts manager and then click on it to enable multiple sign in with Google.
This way once you log in you will see options as seen in the image below when ever your sign into your Google account for Google Calendar, Google Docs and Gmail.

This is great because from a security point of view its better than any external browser extension.
If this option is not available to you now, do not worry it should be there within the next couple of days.

We have covered on DW options of using multiple Gmail accounts on Firefox but this did involve downloading a Greasemonkey script which probably might have been a little too technical for non-techie users of Gmail. This new feature with Google will be quite useful and much easier.

Do you have multiple Google accounts? Do you think this will be a great way to use and shuffle your Google accounts? Do let me know through your comments.

Search and follow everyone using a trending topic on Twitter in one go

Posted: 03 Aug 2010 02:18 AM PDT

Twitter has some very interesting options which a lot of newbies do not know about but find out very soon once they stick around on. As a blogger tweets can play a great role in sharing and looking up some interesting things online. Anyone using Twitter extensively will often use the hashtag to look up what people are saying about something interesting. Like searching for #wordpress for looking up people and their views on the WordPress.

There is a online website which allows you to automatically follow all the Twitter users who have used a particular hashtag recently.

Features of Blast Follow

Just enter the hashtag topic you want to look up and enter it in the website along with your Twitter credentials.
Once you click on ‘Blast’ the web tool starts to automatically start following everyone who has used the hashtag in recent times.
There is a note of caution while using this tool. Try to avoid very popular trending topics as you might end up following hundreds of accounts in a matter of minutes which is quite undesirable.
I use Blast Follow to look up users in very niche and unique topics on which they trend.

If you like following people for their views on Twitter and look up if a particular account is spamming too much or too little with another neat tool called FollowCost.

Do look up Blast Follow and let me know if you like the features. Also do let me know of any similar services and your Twitter strategy when it comes to following people.
