Beta Blues…
It was time when we used to say..half of the Google products are in Beta and they still continue to develop new products…but now the time has come to take the words back…
Even Yahoo and MSN have entered in this mad Beta race, it was time when these guys used to stay away from Beta tag on their products but this Google evil has made everyone working hard and launch too many Betas..
I was surfing today and somehow jumped on Yahoo’s Next page and found too many products in beta…the names include:
- Yahoo! Podcasts Beta
- Site Explorer Beta
- Instant Search Beta
- Mobile Shopping Search-Beta
- Yahoo! Audio Search Beta
- Yahoo! Search Subscriptions Beta
- Yahoo! Mindset Beta
- Y!Q Beta
- My Yahoo! Ticker Beta
- Yahoo! FareChase Beta
The list of MSN product goes as follows:
- MSN Filter Preview
- MSN Screen Saver Beta
- MSN Virtual Earth
- Search Results Clustering
- Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)
and there are very high chances of this list getting increased rapidly… The way Google is launching products (almost new product every month) it doesn’t look like Yahoo is going to slow down…but MSN, they are watching everyone calmly and waiting for both of them to slow down and then launch something with BANG
But I somehow like this Beta race, this way users are getting more advanced stuff

Deep,
Google’s BETA release are always more stable than more other vendors final release.
Most people when there do a beta release, the product is almost always crappy and buggy not so with google… thats what i like it and i have installed analytic code on my site and it gives nice looking report, indepth too..
