Beta just means they're testing something.  Yahoo beta is the layout Yahoo is testing to potentially become the new home page.  Scroll up and you'll find that Yahoo Answers is beta as well.  It is just in its test phases, so at the end of the test period, you could look up and it would be gone.  Once they're done testing this stuff though, they will either remove the word beta or you will not be able to access these pages anymore.  ...So if you like either the new Yahoo homepage or Yahoo Answers, be sure to show Yahoo how much you appreciate them, and don't abuse them, because Yahoo might just take them away.

It is not available to all yahoo users yet. If it is offered to you, you should see "Switch to the Yahoo! mail beta" link at the top of your messages next to the label "inbox". Just click it and it will take you to yahoo mail beta. If you cannot see that link, than it means it is not offered to you yet.

Beta is a test version to allow people to experiment/test what the maker is making. In most cases, it is software. It allows the maker to fix any problems the software may have on different systems to allow it to work without problems later on after the product has been fully released to the public.

Currently answers.yahoo.com is still in it's beta testing form. This means that some features will be available in the future that are not available now. Right now the board is only in English. Soon they should have other languages when they come out of beta testing. Hope this helps.

Beta technology ? Beta is a term used for prototype software that needs user feedback to the developer, before the software is ready for use by the general public. During the Beta testing period, trial versions of the program are made available to "Testers", who use the software in a variety of environments, then send "Bug Reports" to the developer, so that they can correct these "Known Issues" prior to releasing the next version. Hope this helps.

Beta means "not ready for release yet".\nOften, the product is being tested by people outside the dev team (these testers are often called "beta-testers").

This is from the Yahoo page.\n\nHow can I try out the beta?\nTo try the beta, just do the following:\n\n   1. Log into Yahoo! Mail\n   2. Click on the link that says "Try out the beta version of Yahoo! Mail," directly below your unread message summary. Note: We will gradually make the beta version available to our users over a period of a few weeks, so you may not see this link immediately.\n   3. On the resulting page, click on the "Switch to Beta Version Now!" link, and you will see your mailbox with the new design.\n\n\nIf you don't see it yet, just wait. The second link is to get on a waiting list for it. Hope this helped.

BETA - means that it's available for public consumption and release but it's not the final product intended to launch. \n\nIt's basically an early release with the possibility of bugs, problems, outages, etc.\n\nThe goal is to learn from the usage of the product, gather user feedback & improve the product and work towards the final release of the product
