So here is my normal day dealing with the Googles. I’m wondering if I’m the only one who has these issues, or if others experience this too.
First I get online in the morning and often times find that I’m signed out of my iGoogle homepage. No problem, I just sign in.
Then I see that my gmail gadget isn’t working.
Sometimes it says I need to sign into gmail. So, I either go directly to gmail or I sign in and check my email.
Then I go to Google Reader to see how many blogs have posted and how far behind I am. Usually it’s a pretty good number. So I start commenting on blogs.
Eventually, well actually it doesn’t take very long, I come to a blog using the drop down comment box. You know what I’m talking about, right? This one ….
Well, invariably it will say that I’m not signed in and can’t comment even though I’ve been commenting on other blogger blogs with different commenting styles (the pop up or new page). So, I sign in again, this time through dashboard and now I can comment on those blogs too. Unless, I’m on my old mac and for some reason that style of comment box doesn’t work. But that one is probably just me.
And, I’ll go ahead and pass on my complaints about that drop down box and the way word verification works on them. Other than to remind people that if you make if difficult or time consuming or a pain in the ass to comment on your blog, people will be less likely to do so.
So, now I’m all set right? I should be able to cruise through my blogs and comment without any trouble. Well, there is one little thing left. At some point I will hit a blog that has the “followers” thing on the sidebar. And guess what?
Yup, it will show that I’M NOT SIGNED IN!!! So, I’ll have to sign in through that to make sure that I’m following that blog. Even if I’m pretty sure that I am, I feel like I better sign in and make sure.
So WTF Google? Since all of these things belong to you, why isn’t there a one time sign in on any of the Google sites that means I’m singed into everything?
