How to log in to multiple accounts on the same website with Google Chrome

Posted on June 6, 2015

multi-account-login-logoA few months ago a reader asked me how to log into multiple Yahoo email accounts at the same time, and I answered that question in this post. In a nutshell, I advised her to use a different browser for each account.

Well, it turns out that there’s an even easier way if you use the Google Chrome web browser. An excellent Chrome extension called Multi-Account Login lets you easily log in to multiple online accounts on the same website by using nothing more than a single instance of your Chrome browser.

Here’s how to install and use the Multi-Account Login extension:  [Read more…]

chrome-browser-logoIf you’re running Windows 8.1, you’ve probably noticed that Internet Explorer is the default web browser on the Start Screen even if you have set Google Chrome as the default on the Desktop.

Twitter now allows you to opt to receive direct messages from anyone

Posted on April 23, 2015

twitter-logoAs you probably already know, Twitter has never allowed their users to send direct messages (DMs) to other users who don’t follow them. But as of today, that is no longer the case.

Personally, I think switching to Ubuntu Linux is a great way to go if the PC is used primarily for email and Internet access, but as long as the hardware is new enough to support Windows 8.1, that’s a great choice as well.

If you decide to upgrade Win XP to 8.1, it’s a good idea to prepare for the upgrade before jumping into it. Here are my recommendations:  [Read more…]
