For ages, Google power users have been lusting after a multiple account sign-in option. Many of us have at least two accounts with Big G, after all, and while it's easy enough to fudge your way through logging in to them all (say, via your browser's normal and private browsing mode side-by-side), it would be oh so nice if you didn't have to.
If you've been waiting for a simpler, official method you're in lucky. Google has begun rolling out multiple sign-in support, and you should be able to activate it soon on your account settings page.
Once the feature is enabled, your email address in the Google header toolbar will change from static, bold text to a clickable drop-down menu. To switch to a different account, simply select it from the list (take the jump for a screenshot).

As noted in the list of caveats above, multi-account support comes with a few limitations. Not all Google services are supported, and Offline Gmail and Calendar will be disabled. While it's nothing I'd notice (I don't use offline mode and I only use my second account for email), I can certainly see the latter being a dealbreaker for at least a few hard-core Googlers.
Like many other Google feature additions, multiple sign-in is being rolled out slowly. If you don't see the option on your settings page yet, try again later -- it's coming!
