"Your Browser is no longer supported. http://www.google.com/support/plus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&p... " Now, I get this idiotic error since I don't use one of the major web browsers (FF, IE, Chrome, Safari). I really hate the websites (such as read.amazon.com) that ignores the other webkit based web browsers (uzbl, luakit, surf...) with same capabilities with Chrome and Firefox. (I don't even compare them with IE!)

That's why we should use feature-detection instead of browser/version-detection for web development.

Now if only they could get their multiple account sign-in feature polished. I use one Google account for Youtube, one for Google groups, and then my Apps account for email and plus. Why can't I set my preferred account for each service? The day I went to Google.com and noticed I was signed in was the first sign of trouble. Why do I have to have my account used everywhere I go? I don't want you to log me in for search…

I would argue that you are probably the exception from the norm -- most users have only one account and would probably consider it a major inconvenience to have to log in multiple times across different Google properties.

Except they do have a multiple-accounts feature, so obviously it's important enough to support explicitly. I also hate the way it works. I have to use different browsers to have it work without irritation.

Hmm. Maybe there's a plugin.

Congrats on Google getting it out this week. There was quite a bit of cynicism after the announcement last week. I've been holding off joining until my personal Apps domain was enabled as I've still not finished migrating all my docs from Gmail yet - I didn't want any more loose ends.

Just wanted to echo the thoughts of mtkd. I have my own personal domain mostly because I want to maintain control of my own email address. I connected it to Google Apps (and am willing to pay for this feature), because Gmail is great.

But when Google rolls out a new service which doesn't have Apps support (which they do all the time), it's pretty frustrating. The irony is that if I didn't use Apps, and instead hosted my domain myself, I'd have better compatibility with Google products than when I do. Frustrating as hell, especially if you're paying for it.

I understand that they're stuck between vanity users (like me) and enterprise users, but these problems should be thought about more structurally and addressed beforehand.
