I still don't get it how Google can ignore the fact that people have multiple Google accounts, yet insist on everyone having one true Google+ account. I've decided that I want my Google+ "identity" to be based on my company's Google account. Which for example does not have support for logging in to YouTube. What then?

Like many of us, you'll have multiple G+ accounts.

  Doing this in conjunction with Chrome's multi-user features (settings -> users -> add new user) has made this setup a lot smoother.

    There's also a command line argument that lets you specify a different profile subdirectory, for even more separation. (I believe this was also available before Google added the multiple user support and/or made it on by default.

      Can you share a link about that command line argument thing?
