Google Buzz and Google Accounts
So I have to gripe about the GOOG for a second…
Their account system is whack… it’s fractured and confusing…
I have a “Google Account”
I have a “Google Apps Account”
They don’t work the same at all, they have separate sessions in my browser, and it just so happens that they have the same “email” as the login.
How does this get confusing? Well…
If I log into reader, I’m actually using my “Google Account”… If I log into my webmail account, I’m using my “Google Account”…
The confusing part is the pieces of both, which I’m not quite sure which one I’m logged into at any moment: Google Docs, Google Calendar, and eventually Google Buzz.
It’s all just a big cluster f___ and I want out!
btw, I’m trying out Buzz… and I had to sign up for a new GMAIL account, using my “Google Account”, which switched my email login, so that may help. Who knows.
