Finally My Google Apps account is a first class citizen

If you use Google Apps this will be all to familiar to you. As Google Apps users we all lived in this kind of limbo where we had to have our Google Apps account as well as a Gmail account since outside of Google Apps your Google Apps login was useless. In fact, it was so useless that you may have even accidentally created a 'ghost' Google profile using your Google Apps credentials for services like Google Reader etc where the account your using wasn't your Google Apps account but a ghost version using the same email address etc.

But no more! Google has started rolling out 'transitioned' accounts (apply by filling out this spreadsheet). It's a painless process but the end goal is that your Google Apps login becomes a first class citizen so you can use it on Google Reader and other Google properties. From what I can understand they transition accounts from Google Apps accounts to normal Google accounts (renaming any ghosted accounts in the process) so you can now login to gmail.com using your Google Apps credentials - this allow lets you use Google Multiple Account so you can switch been Apps/Gmail/Multiple Apps logins.

Woohoo, this is great news for any Google Apps user!
