For example, Flickr is Gamma, and many other web services are either Alpha or Beta? So what is the difference?

I know that it only takes weaing an article of clothing to block or a piece of paper to stop Alpha radiation because it's penetrating power is low. Beta radation can be stopped by heavy clothng and has a medium penetrating power. Gamma radiation has a HIGH penetrating power and takes like a thick piece of concrete or lead to stop it's penetration power. These websites can help.

These are dealing with Release/Version,..
Alpha is 1.something
Beta is 2.something
Gamma depends on how they are counting,.. it could be 3.something, 7.something, or just them makeing a joke,.. posibly playing on how many movies have Gamma Radiation in them.

Alpha radiation is protrons & neutrons and because of its size is the most damageing, Beta consits of electrons, and Gamma is Pure energy.
