They were bought by Phoenix Technologies to add file synchronization, backup, and sharing to an admittedly hardware-centric product line. Yet as happens too often, a big company buys an interesting small company, loses interest, and the interesting technology disappears. BeInSync is in danger of becoming like one of those TV shows that promises to come back but never does (hello, Middleman, are you coming back?). http://www.itworld.com/small-business/67265/beinsync-hiatus-flailing-tv-show#comments Business Internet Personal tech SaaS Security Small business Software Opinion BeInSync Phoenix Technologies The Middleman Thu, 30 Apr 2009 13:36:21 -0400 James Gaskin 67265 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/small-business/58784/get-syncy-it PC file synchronization tools have been around since users needed to sync files on their floppy disks to their new-fangled hard drive. I liked them in theory in the past, but needed them to do something more than sync local files to other local folders. Now, with products like GoodSync and BeInSync that handle local and remote syncing including backup, these tools have really become useful. http://www.itworld.com/small-business/58784/get-syncy-it#comments Personal tech SaaS Small business Storage Opinion backup BeInSync GoodSync synchronization Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:25:26 -0500 James Gaskin 58784 at http://www.itworld.com
