A lot more things are put out in beta these days, because it allows them to make software available to people early, without technically "releasing" it. "Beta" is like saying "it's not quite done, but mostly done, but if there's anything wrong with it, well, we told you that might happen."
Meanwhile, Flickr decided to beat everyone else and invent a whole new class of pre-release status, changing the site from Flickr Beta to Flickr Gamma. I have no idea what "Gamma" means. I think it means "Still not entirely done, but WAY MORE DONE than all those other BETA sites!"

Beta is a term that basically means it's a work in progress.
Programmers go through different phases of testing when developing new programs. The first phase of testing can be referred to as "Alpha", and the second stage "Beta". Usually Beta tests are done close to the release date or public distribution of the software. Many of them are done with a limited amount of people, or Beta-testers, to work out all the bugs before a major distribution.

Beta versions of any software have some bugs and need to be corrected in order to release the final version. They are released in the market, so that the ones to use them will find out the mistakes and point them out for rectification.
