Google Explains Lengthy Beta Process

One of the questions asked at today's Google Factory Tour, was:

"Lots of products stay in Beta, does that indicate that you have trouble getting them to a finished state?"

Marissa Mayer took the lead on answering that question. She explained that when a product is launched in beta, it often has a long list of features that need to be added, before Google considers it finished. Once all of the features have been added to a product in "beta", they remove the beta-tag. "We’re getting close to taking some of these products out of beta, and you’ll see some announcements soon," says Mayer.
