Google Chrome Profiles
Google Profiles can be a real plus when using chrome. One of the things I missed most when I gave up Firefox for Chrome was some of the plug-ins that Firefox had. One of these provided the ability to have multiple Gmail credentials that I could hot swap back and forth from. Well no longer since I found: ChromeDeck.
To be fair, I found LifeHacker.com and they found ChromeDeck (Article). So why do I need this and what does it do? Having browser profiles is best described as a multi-user browser. I have more than one Gmail account primarily because I want more than one Google Voice Number. Switching back and forth always entailed logging out and logging back in which is a real pain when you want to check voicemail. Enter ChromeDeck:
ChromeDeck is a freeware and Windows-only tool, which simplifies the task of creating and managing separate user profiles for Google Chrome. You need Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to use it. After downloading and installing ChromeDeck, launch it to create and manage user profiles.
Chrome Deck will allow you to create and run multiple instances of Chrome with its own set of cookies, thereby allowing you to have more than one set of Google credentials. I not going to justify my need for more than one Google Voice number, but for those of you who have the same issue, this is a really nice solution. You can download ChromeDeck at:

Handling Multiple Google Accounts
Anyone who has more than one G-Mail or Google Voice accounts has most likely discovered what a hassle it can be with logging out and logging back in to get to your information. It got to the point for me that I would run different browsers and have one account set up on Chrome and the other set up on Firefox. Of course now you need to remember which one is where.
Solution:
I was told about this add-on for FireFox that totally makes this a non-problem; CookieSwap! This extension allows you to create profiles and keep track of your various site cookies based on the selected profile. Its that simple. MozDev.org distributes this extension and describe it as:
CookieSwap is a Firefox/Mozilla extension that enables you to maintain numerous sets or “profiles” of cookies that you can quickly swap between while browsing.
I am very particular about what extensions get installed, but this is one that I am finding hard to live without.
Notice: This extension is in Beta and we make no warranty of any kind. It just works for us.

1 Number To Rule Them All
Google Voice – One Killer Web App
Does Google have Skype on the menu? Voice Over IP (VoIP) is one of the hottest topics around. There has even been talk of late that the traditional P.O.T. network may be going to transition to VoIP in the future. I have written previously on this subject, but of late there has been some new additions to this service. Google Voice, or Grandcentral, it’s previous name is one of the most simple concepts when it comes to telephony. One Number for all of your other numbers.
The original concept of Grandcentral was to have one number that would ring all of your other numbers or certain numbers at a predetermined time. This in itself is a concept that is so simple it borders on brilliant. Read more…
