Google made it popular to release new services in beta. Through out the Web 2.0 craze, everything is in beta Google has more projects and services in beta, than they have out. Google recently took Blogger out of beta. Blogger is finally feature complete, and has no major bugs. Maybe this will be a new trend of Google, and we will see more services become feature complete.
The new version of Blogger is metaphorically bursting with features, from the big guns like drag-and-drop template editing and post labels (which are perfect, by the way, for indexing the 131 historical figures you may have written about), to little polishes like a better-designed Dashboard or that you no longer need to solve a word verification CAPTCHA to post a comment on your own blog.
