• sandbox.google.com

Since Google Checkout was released earlier this year, that subdomain has been serving up what appears to be the Google Checkout pages. However, anyone who has tried to login would've noticed that they wouldn't have been able to sign in using their usual Google Account. Furthermore, if anyone creates a new account from within these pages, it's not a 'real' Google Account – it's actually some kind of test account.

(Just try to sign in to the 'sandbox' pages using your normal account and it won't work. Similarly, try signing in to the real Google Accounts pages with your 'sandbox' login and that won't work either.)

It appears that the 'sandbox' subdomain and associated Google Accounts are used for the development and testing of new or experimental Google services. So, using the same methods I used to find new service code names before – e.g. Weaver / M Scrapbook, Google RS2, SSD, Mobile Download Console and Google LH2 – I managed to find and add the following services to my 'sandbox' Google Account – all of which aren't currently available to add to your 'real' Google Account (even though you'll have heard about some of them before):

Service Name	Code Name
Google Events	ev
Google Guess	guess
Google Online Assessment	goa
Google Real Estate Search	re
Google RS2	rs2
Google Writely	writely
Local (AKA Local Business Center)	lbc
Mobile	mobile
Mobile Marketplace	mmp
New Service (AKA Workplace)	wf
New Service	gmt
Talk	talk
Weaver	weaver
WiFi	wifi
