It’s a shock it took this long but this is very good news, indeed: 37signals now offers SSL connections on Basecamp. From the SVN blog:
SSL was initially positioned as an upgrade driver to higher plans. And while we don’t know what percentage of people considered SSL a key reason for upgrading, we believe everyone is entitled the best security we can offer. There shouldn’t be first class or second class customers when it comes to security. It doesn’t matter if Customer A is paying us $149 and Customer B is not paying us at all — they are all customers and their data is equally important.
This is the first step in our renewed focus on being a better corporate citizen. We plan on rolling out similar SSL upgrades across our entire product line (Highrise, Backpack, and Campfire). We’re also examining additional good citizen initiatives beyond security. Profit will be considered (we are a business, after all), but it won’t always come first.
