Kango, a travel search engine, announced today that it has changed its name to UpTake.

“Uptake” refers to a quick understanding of key facts. We believe the new name, UpTake describes our core offering – the aggregation and analysis of collective wisdom such as reviews, blogs and articles from across the Web to help consumers plan their trips,” said Yen Lee, UpTake president and founder.

UpTake is currently in private beta. Users should not expect any change in the functionality or capabilities of the website or service as a result of this name change. Private beta users will have the same login information at either www.kango.com or www.uptake.com.

To sign up to be a private beta user and experience personalized travel search first-hand, whether you’re looking for Honolulu romantic hotels or San Diego family hotels simply go to www.uptake.com.
