A Google Account is a user account that provides access to Google services such as Blogger, YouTube, and Google Groups. A Google Account is required for the use of Gmail, but account holders are not required to use Gmail and it is possible to create a Google Account without Gmail. Accounts in EU countries were hosted on the domain ''googlemail.com'', instead of ''gmail.com'' because Google did not own the trademark. Since resolving the domain dispute, user account use either gmail.com,〔(Google's answer on googlemail vs gmail for EU ). Retrieved on 2010-07-14 〕 or may use another provider's address. After a Google Account is created, users may enable other Google applications.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.google.com/intl/en/about/products/ )〕 YouTube and Blogger maintain separate accounts for users who registered with the services before their Google acquisition. However, effective April 2011 YouTube users are required to link to a separate Google Account if they wish to continue to log into that service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Why Connecting your YouTube and Google Accounts Matters ) Retrieved on 2011-08-05〕 Google Account users may create a publicly accessible Google profile, to configure their presentation on Google products to other Google users. A Google profile can be linked to a user's profiles on various social-networking and image-hosting sites, as well as user blogs. A Google Account can also be used by third party service providers. These providers can delegate user authentication to Google.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Sign in Request Page )〕 == Blocking accounts == Google may block an account for various reasons, such as "unusual activity" or entering an age "not old enough" to own a Google account. Reactivation is possible using web-forms, providing proof of identity through valid photo ID, or a small credit card payment (at a cost of 0.30 USD). Other methods (such as sending a fax or uploading some requested document) require human interaction and may take some "days or a couple of weeks" to be accomplished. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Google Account」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
