Google launching multiple account signup

If you are one of those Google users who have multiple Google accounts, or if you share you are using a shared computer along with your friends or family then you might have faced a situation, where you need to be logged in to more than one Google account, well, the old approach was to use different browsers or use private mode to log in to another account.

Well, Google seemed to understand the problem, as they are launching a new feature that will allow you to use multiple Google accounts from the same browser without any add-ons all you have to do is login to your Google account and goto account settings and turn on the feature Multiple sign in, you can use the link https://www.google.com/accounts/b/0/MultipleSessions too. You have to select all the check boxes to use this feature.

After setting up this feature for one account, setting it up for other accounts is very simple all you have to do is  select the sign in to another account, that is displayed as a drop down if you click the email address of the account you are logged into, this will take you to a sign in page and multiple sign in will be activated for any account you log into

However, only Google reader, gmail, Google code Google calendar, and Google sites are supported as of now and you may not be able to use offline gmail and offline calendar may not work properly. Ths feature may not available for everybody as of now.

Here are some screenshots
