Multiple Google Account support in Chrome
Not tried this myself yet, but looks like it could be useful.

Woohoo! The Multiple Profiles feature is back in Chrome 15 Beta!
Many thanks to the Chrome team for getting this super awesome feature back in.
What is Multiple Profiles?
Suppose you have multiple Google accounts; say one for work (for me, my @google.com account) and one for personal account (my @gmail.com account).
By having multiple profiles in Chrome, I can specify what account each window should be associated with, each with their own set of extensions, bookmarks, preferences, cookies etc.
How do I use it?
Easy, but not for the faint hearted. This feature is still under development, so it’s not guaranteed to be stable and it can be removed at any time (as it was in Chrome 14).
That being said, just follow the following easy steps:
1. Type chrome://flags in the omnibar. This takes you to a page full of experiments.
2. Search for “Multiple Profiles”.
3. Hit the ‘enable’ link in the Multiple Profiles row
4. Get to Chrome settings, either by hitting the wrench at the top right of your browser, typing chrome://settings in the omnibar, or your way of choice.
5. Hit the ‘Personal Stuff’ link on the left, and under the ‘Users’ section, click ‘Add a new user’.
6. Voila, a brand new browser page associated with a separate profile!
If you’d like to go back and edit the name and icon of the profile, just do steps 4 and 5, and instead of clicking ‘Add a new user’, click the profile name you want to change and hit ‘Manage’. This lets you choose and icon and a name for the profile for easy recognition.
Enjoy!
