It's an attempt at a country, but it has been in beta since 1830 or so. -
Well, the beta-tag gives a provider more ToS flexibility. If privacy issues occur (e.g. "ZOMG, my personal information is publicly visible!"), the provider can turn to the beta tag and say "well, it's a beta, errors are possible... we're doing our best to fix it now".Originally posted by Colonâ„¢
I don't understand Dan's and Zopperoni's replies, assimuning those are serious? Pleasee lcaridfy?
I know, but the beta tag seems to be inherent to many web2.0 initiatives... everything is in a beta phase: Pownce, IILWY, Buzzword...Originally posted by snoopy369
Zopp: not sure about "privacy", but web 2.0 is "new" style of web designing, more white space and other things... google it

Dan:
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

I'm not sure if that's the case. Most terms already mention that they can change at any time. A "beta" tag could never be a legal defense anyway.Originally posted by Zopperoni

I think it's more of a "web 2.0" version of the "always under construction" idea: "Even though our product is so cool already, we still have so many more ideas! Watch this space!"Comment
