Posterous.com is NOT in beta
Garry and I have been in a lot of meetings recently talking about Posterous. Most of the time, the people we are talking to have used the product and know what we're working on. Sometimes they haven't. And a couple of those people asked us if we are "in beta."
Fuck no. "Beta" is just an excuse to release buggy software and not have to take responsibility for it. Posterous.com is NOT in beta. We write the highest quality code we can, and if shit breaks, we take responsibility and fix it.
While I do think there are certain reasons to do beta releases of software, I don't believe in mass distribution of software in "beta" quality. I really hope we never have to do that for Posterous, or anything else I work on.
