It sometimes seems to me like the majority of Google features and services
are in beta, perhaps for legal reasons. Speaking of betas, I think Flickr
is still in beta, even though it's been year/s and Yahoo now own them.
The point I am trying to make is that the 'beta factor' should not be a
deterrent. It is no implication of incapability. If something breaks, it
allows the culprit to point at that little Greek letter and say "L@@K!".
