JavaScript-Based Spreadsheet-Like Formulas in Google Docs

I'm a bit averse to newly created accounts linking to nondescript plugins.

Here's a blog post discussing the plugin:

> Have you ever wished you could synchronize content within one Google doc? Do you need temporary placeholders that you will replace later? Do you want to generate text? Do you miss spreadsheets in docs?

> If you answered yes to one of these questions, this Google doc extension is for you. It enables you to define names (a.k.a. variables) anywhere in the document, and to insert computations that produce rich text anywhere in the document.

Besides (what I consider) the introduction of the article, what else do you consider "stilted" advertising language and how can I improve my writing?

I shouldn't have been so harsh, as I was initially scanning against suspicious submissions. I criticized the language because I thought it sounded like a kind of advertising from TV.

This feedback is unnecessarily critical of a well meaning blog post.
