The Internet

The big news that Gmail, Google Apps, and other services are leaving their beta status and becoming full-fledged products isn’t big news at all, really. Plenty of people have been making use of the products, and there was no huge roll-out of features that accompanied the launch. In fact, it’s notable only for the fact that the years-old label was formally removed, ending the “beta” joke once and for all.

The removal of the moniker may inspire some larger corporate users to take a serious look at the tools Google provides, but savvy customers were already looking at them. In this case, a name is just a name, and you can count on Google rolling out features on the same schedule they always have. It’s all the same - just minus a meaningless term

beta, Google
