computerworld.com — What are we to make of Google's "beta" products and "experimental" features? Gmail has been in "beta" for five years! And Gmail has more than 35 so-called "experimental" features. They're attracting users, beating competition and helping Google make billions of dollars. See Google's use of these terms for what it really is: a marketing gimmick.

That isn't really how version numbering works at all. A product that is out of beta can still have features added to it and milestone versions.

Digg has had the 'upcomin' section marked as BETA for a loooong time.
