Bug Description

From the Ubuntu One "Join Now" dialog:
"Ubuntu One requires an Ubuntu Single Sign On (SSO) account."

Single Sign On (SSO) is technical jargon that many users don't understand. I propose that this be rebranded as Ubuntu Online. While this won't magically make the concept understandable to everyone, it is a bit more clear that this is an online account and not the same as the account to login to the computer.

I agree about the need to change the name of Ubuntu SSO to something less technical. As for what it will be called; that conversation is ongoing.
