It turns out that Google doesn't think about or use the word beta the way that most of the rest of us have always done … and still do. We'll dissect that explanation in a moment, but first more about the tally.
"Everyone knows Google is fond of the beta label on its products, but we wanted some actual numbers, so we went through all of Google's products to see how many of them are in beta," Pingdom analyst Peter Alguacil tells me. "It turned out to be a whopping 45%. As far as we know, there is no other company that does this to the extent that Google does."
