WhiteSmoke Google Gadget Launched to Improve Writing for Google Users


WILMINGTON, Delaware, March 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- New WhiteSmoke Google Gadget Corrects Spelling and Grammar Mistakes and 
Enriches Your "Googlish" Text

WhiteSmoke announces the immediate availability of its new
WhiteSmoke Google Gadget at http://www.google.com/ig/directory?q=whitesmoke

Joining numerous other applications and services already
available as Google gadgets, the WhiteSmoke Google Gadget brings
award-winning English grammar checking, spell checking, and text enrichment
to users of a range of Google services, such as iGoogle and Google Page
Creator. Blogger, Google's giant blog network, currently supports Google
gadgets in its "draft" mode.

The free and user-friendly WhiteSmoke Google Gadget is based
on the recently launched WhiteSmoke 2008 desktop application. Gadget users
can either copy-paste or type in a text and have it analyzed using the full
power of the WhiteSmoke grammar engine. Spelling mistakes are marked in red,
grammar and punctuation mistakes in green, and text enrichment suggestions in
blue. WhiteSmoke's text enrichment feature includes suggestions for synonyms
and contextually-based additions of adjectives and adverbs. After users
correct their text, they can copy-paste it to whatever application they need.

Hilla Ovil Brenner, WhiteSmoke CEO, elaborates: "English is
used all over the world to connect people who speak and write English, either
as their mother tongue or as a second language. With this global spread of
English usage, many fear that language standards are dropping, even among
native speakers. Everybody can benefit from the new WhiteSmoke Google Gadget,
from teenagers using instant messaging through to business people, who
according to our research, still send 60% of their emails with language
mistakes. Furthermore, with Google services being among the most widely used
on the Internet, the WhiteSmoke Google Gadget is a powerful tool that can
assist hundreds of millions of Google users across the planet in improving
their written English skills."

"WhiteSmoke provides a groundbreaking solution for English
text correction and enrichment, and with Google as a platform it can reach
ever growing audiences who need professional results when they write. iGoogle
is a highly user-friendly work environment concentrating all of the users'
online needs on one web page. Offering WhiteSmoke technology to iGoogle users
increases the value of the iGoogle experience," explains Amit Greener,
WhiteSmoke Vice President of Marketing. He adds: "While licensed users of the
full WhiteSmoke 2008 desktop application enjoy additional features, such as
writing templates, the dictionary-thesaurus, and specialized text enrichment
for various professional fields, the WhiteSmoke Google Gadget still brings
the full extent of WhiteSmoke's grammar and text enrichment to the Google
online universe, allowing users to easily communicate in correct and improved
English."

The WhiteSmoke Google Gadget is available for your iGoogle
homepage now. You can use this link to add it:
