A new step has been made in the so Web2.0 way of not releasing v1.0 of services. I’ve just discovered that Flickr has now switched from the Beta version (the one it has always been in) to the… Gamma version. The “beta” thing was already annoying – services like Gmail are de facto major releases and have the necessary backup. Anyway, this is just a geeky marketing trick…

I’m personally a big fan of the good old “mark” system which you don’t see around anymore. And so I announce Around the Dot – Mark IV for next week!
