I honestly don't know *exactly* how they might have done things differently, but Google's ubiquity is causing a major workflow nightmare for me, and I'm sure many other users.
Like many who are a bit too engaged in the Internet sphere, I use a lot of different Google services, and have more than one Google account (two primary ones, used on purpose for different purposes). A lot of my decision-making occurred before there were in fact "Google Accounts." Pretty much, the decision was to have two different GMail accounts, one because I loved GMail for its speed, searchability, storage, and organizational aplomb. The other Gmail account, for spam and email from the retailers I buy from. Simple enough. This latter also got associated with "me" in certain online forums, and certain people email me there, so I like to keep watch on it.
Now, I use a ton of other Google services, too, all with logins attached. And at some point I managed to set up at least three or four additional Google accounts, for professional reasons.
Some of the great services I use are:
Google Groups - I moderate acquired by Google? Google, will you promise to just keep Jotspot separate? Please don't make your customers associate it with a Google Account.
