My GMail password scares me with its power

I don't understand why someone wouldn't be able to create more than one GMail account and use separate accounts for separate google related purposes? (Use one GMail account for RSS and a seperate GMail account for App Engine, etc)

There is still the possibility that everyone you give information to is tied to a single GMail account (for your own convenience), but that is still your own fault, not Google.

The issue is convenience I suppose. Having everything tied to one account makes it quite simple to jump to your calendar, your voicemails, your checkout, etc.

I really like the author's idea to (at a minimum provide) an alternate gmail password that mail clients can use. That would alleviate most of my concerns.

Both Firefox and Safari boot you off one account when you login to another.
