Google Multiple Sign-in

Has it ever happened to you that you need to see multiple accounts at the same time? Usually we open different accounts in different browser or otherwise, to use in the same browser, we first have to sign off and then sign in with new Google Account. This can be very irritating at times, at least for those who are quite unfamiliar with many browsers and use Internet explorer all the time.
Now, you no longer have to perform such actions for opening multiple Google accounts. Google has finally come up with much awaited multiple accounts sign in feature. This can be implemented by going to the Google Accounts page and then enabling multiple sign in option. Once you click on the change, Google notifies that it is an advanced feature and will work on various Google products like calendar, code, Gmail, Reader and Google sites.
When you enable this feature, the most significant change is that you'll see a new drop-down next to your email address in Gmail and other supported Google products. Click on the drop-down and you can sign in to a new Google Account without signing out from the previous account.

Another change is that Google's URLs include a different number for each account:http://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/http://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/, etc.

After you enable the multiple sign in option, you will see a drop down list with the list of Google Accounts that you must have entered. You can select any one of those and proceed with your work. The account that you will be using for the first time will automatically made as default account.
If you visit Google product that do not support multiple Google accounts, you will automatically be redirected to default account for that particular product. Moreover, if you sign out of any of the Google products while signed in to any account, you will be signed out of all your Google Accounts at once.
