> Having a single signon between those two services makes very little sense.
Where do you draw the line? GMail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, YouTube, Google+, Android, Chrome, Voice, Hangouts? Should they all have different sign-ons?
Is Google forbidden from integrating signons for all future companies it acquires?
- v13inc 13y agoGoogle has always integrated sign-ons between those services. It is the unification of user profiles that is causing all the uproar.
- VikingCoder 13y agoYou have a very short memory. Google has NOT always integrated sign-ons between those services, and there was an uproar when it happened.
- v13inc 13y agoYou are right -- I don't really remember when I had to login with different credentials for Youtube, et al. Just to clarify, I am making a distinction between being able to sign into a Youtube profile with a Google account and forcing the same profile across all Google properties. Judging from my preferences, and based on my (limited) anecdotes, it seems that users appreciate the convenience of single-signin solutions, as long as each property they are signing into has a profile that can be managed separately.
- mattmcknight 13y agoIf you seriously don't want to, just create two Google accounts...I'm using multiple sign-in across many of their web properties with my personal account and my corporate Google Apps account.
