5 Reasons to Get a Google Account

If you don't already have one, you should get yourself a Google account.

Maybe you already use Yahoo or Microsoft's online services. Maybe you already have an email account through your internet provider. I'm not suggesting you convert over to using Google's email client (called Gmail) though I do recommend that service.

What I'm suggesting is to sign up for a Google account. There are many many services you can use through Google, many of which I'll cover in some detail in the future. But for now, you should start off by creating a Google account i you don't have one already.

Just head on over through this link and click "Create an account now" down in the lower right hand corner.
