Dazzboard Expands Webtop and Portable Content Access With iGoogle Gadget

Gadget Brings Universal Device Management to the Ever-Popular Search Engine


SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - August 6, 2009) - Dazzboard, the ultimate social media webtop, today expanded its online services with the release of an iGoogle gadget. Like dazzboard.com, this new release allows users to push and pull data instantly between any portable device and a PC, or to move content directly from a device onto the social media Web with drag-and-drop ease. Additionally, the gadget brings users' devices and content onto the iGoogle platform, allowing them to directly alter their content by implementing the wide array of tools Google's personalized homepage offers.

As a tool geared towards simplifying users' portable device management and allowing for easy content updates across varied social media accounts, expanding Dazzboard to one of the most popular platform providers, Google, is a logical step. By offering Dazzboard on different platforms, the company give users more options for simplifying their device and content management.

"Continuing in the spirit of our 'Open iTunes' approach to universal device management, extending our services to Google users creates more options for managing devices and content through a webtop," commented CEO Tero Salonen. "If users are accustomed to using iGoogle, they don't have to change over to dazzboard.com to use the service -- the service is coming to them."

The Dazzboard iGoogle gadget runs on the Universal Media Management API, an API developed for the fast integration of webtop device management and portable content access on social networks.
