And with the length of time that things spend in "beta" phases, and the state in which they enter "beta" today, I don't think there <em>is</em> a working solid definition anymore.

As anyone who has used a beta on any project knows, you have to expect failures and should never expect it to be flawless. The point of a beta test is to find the flaws and fix them, and I plan to find as many as I can, so that it can be as great a service as possible. We must encourage online distributed content, rather than discourage efforts just because some people don't know what beta means. I signed up for the beta.

Come on, if it were that easy to "just come up with [a] creative idea and build a perfect website for it," we'd all be millionaires.

It creates a negative mindset before launch and might dissuade people from trying it. I can’t say that I’d go with the philosophy of preparing users for failure.
