Say Goodbye to Beta: Flickr Gamma Released
The changes to Flickr's navigation announced last week have gone live. I'm not sure how I feel about the navigation changes but I love the new Organizr.
And finally Flickr has lost the beta label that's been a constant presence since public launch. Now...it's gamma. I don't think I've ever been involved with gamma software before so I had to check Wikipedia for a definition:
To many software testers, Gamma testing is an informal phrase that refers derisively to the release of "buggy" or defect-ridden products. It is not a term of art among testers, but rather an example of referential humor.) Gamma, delta, and omega are, respectively, the third, fourth, and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Some users disparagingly refer to release candidates and even final "point oh" releases as "gamma test" software, suggesting that the developer has chosen to use its customers to test software that is not truly ready for general release.
Hmmm.
