Yahoo!360 for example was in "BETA" for over 2 years before they finally pulled the plug on future enhancements, much to the dismay of the faithful. Here I thought this new design was actually PROD. For the first time you have made me aware of the fact that it was indeed in "BETA" for a year. Am I the only one who finds this a bit much?

It gets really boring when a service or site is in beta for too long. Another great example is Jaiku. Although it is not in beta, it has been invite only for a longer time (I think a year? Since Google acquired it). @simplyRik – I’m definitely with you on that one. It gets really boring when a service or site is in beta for too long. Another great example is Jaiku.
