Default Will Google Ever Finish Anything....?

Google have got into an anoying habbit . They leave uncomplete products and then start work on a new one...

These are all the Google Things i Could find in Beta . Very Annoying !.

Google Vidoes... BETA !

Google Mail... BETA !

Google Froogle... BETA !

Google Alerts... BETA !

Google Blog Search... BETA !

Google Book Search... BETA !

Google Calander... BETA !

Google Docs and Spreadsheets... BETA !

Google Scholar... BETA !

Google Talk... BETA !

Google Pack... BETA !

Google TV... BETA !


Why don't google just finish something for once ! Im sure theyve finished something, but the amount they havnt and then still starting new projects, is just ridiculous.

Well, All those betas being out is better than one complete thing being done. All of them function so what's the difference?

That is their way of saying "we're not responsible if something malfunctions". That since they can attribute whatever problem to the fact that whatever product it's still in BETA.

Not sure why they leave everything in beta, I've wondered the same thing.

I guess their just testing different things to see how much revenue they can generate... I havent had a problem with Gmail or any of them.. And I guess if one of their products dosent work out they can discontiune it, without liability.

Google itself is not in beta! But it's only a matter of time before you see Google 2.0 (beta).

lets take an example from.... oh say.... Vista. Is having betas or continuing to improve products a bad thing? No. Is releasing them too early? Yes. COUGH COUGH Vista Drivers COUGH.

Maybe, but i think they should concentrate on maybe 4-5 things, not 12 of them. How big is the dev team !?!

I bet they re testing all of these individual technologies to be incorporated into GoogleOS which I am sure hey will make eventually. They are too big not too they have a lot o the components of an OS. Desktop search and indexing, Email client, IM client, Productivity suite, 3D graphics app, Music/Video streaming. and they are all better then the M$ equivalents and free!
