Campbell's Hightail, Formerly YouSendIt, Acquires Cloud Security Company, adeptCloud

Who knew YouSendIt changed its name? You get bonus points.

Now called Hightail, the Campbell company has bought a cloud security company, adeptCloud. Read the deets here in Geekworld. 

The article says that: "With the adeptCloud team's approach, professionals will benefit even more from Hightail's continued enhancement of existing professional security and control features such as read receipt, password protection, and document tracking. The team will also focus on enabling Hightail to integrate with existing enterprise storage and control services."

I've been a big YouSendIt user. How about you? P.S> I'm not so sure I like the new name. Do you? Hightail makes me think of hightailing it out of here, not of sending something securely. 

What do you think?

Here's a story about the name change, and the company CEO, who used to work for AOL, which owns Patch. The author agrees with me about the name change. 

Here's some good news: Hightail is hiring. Check the job openings here. 

Here's a better explanation on the name change: they want to distinguish the company from competitors such as DropBox, Google Drive and Box.
