Google This!

I am a Christian–I bow to none other than the One true God–but if i were not a Christian, I would definitely worship the god of Google.  Google is everywhere and has it’s spiny fingers into everything I do.  If I go to YouTube, Google art there.  If I go to FeedBurner, Google art there.  If I sign up for Blogger, Google art there.  Google holdeth some of my treasured photographs at Picasa.  If I look for a new web browser, Google doth provide Chrome.  If I need to see a photo of my own house on my own street or someone else’s house halfway across the world, Google giveth me the power to do so with Google Earth or Google Street View.  All I need is one Google ID to take care of much of my business on the Internet:  AdSense, analytics, bookmarks, e-mail, search, feed reading, feed sharing, blogging, connecting with friends, watching videos, storing photos and more.  If Google can’t provide it, I probably don’t need it.

The problem?  All I need is one Google ID, but I have many and Google remembers me everywhere I go.  I am constantly signing out of one Google account and into another.  Currently I have bookmarks under three Google ID’s and they are all different depending on which identity I was claiming at the time I hit the bookmark button.  Trying to keep them all the same is a never ending challenge of importing and exporting and adding and deleting.  Google should figure a way for a person to remain signed in for the toolbar with one account while signing in and out of other accounts for AdSense, Analytics, e-mail, and etc.  God forbid that Google should allow me to have several different e-mail addresses without each being an account that it wants me to use to access everything Google.  And, what if I want to delete the e-mail address that my AdSense account is associated with (and I do)?  What if I want to use the same identity for AdSense that I now use for Analytics and FeedBurner? Take pity on me Google, I didn’t know that you were going to own everything when I signed up for all this stuff and I didn’t know it would be written in stone for the rest of my Internet life.  I change e-mail addresses and account names like I change domiciles, every couple of years or so.  I like change.  Change is good.  Help me!
