LibraryThing beta - Das hello world Posting von LibraryThing.

After a few weeks of development, LibraryThing is ready for public “beta” release.
When I worked in educational software, betas were suspect. Giving one to a customer would have probably been a firing offense. Google and Flickr have broken that taboo, and even given the term bleeding-edge chic. This is particularly amusing as “beta” means essentially the same thing as “under construction,” now as repellent thirty-somethings with Razor scooters.
