Is web 2.0 similar to beta? Does that mean web 1.0 is alpha?

On all these web 2.0 sites like squidoo.com, fon.com, etsy.com, writely, frappr.com you name it there is always this little beta beside the logo.
I’m kind of confused. Does that mean web 2.0 is similar to beta? Is web 1.0 or www similiar to alpha?
What’s the next step? Gamma?

For me beta was always something… I don’t like to say bad, but in fact that means the software isn’t ready, save or whatever.

Or is it more like this in these web 2.0 applications:

Alpha = I have an idea and nothing done yet
Beta = I have an application and I have someone who gives me money
Gamma = I’m one year old now and hey the dotcom bubble didn’t kick me out of business.

I’m confused!
I think I’m DELTA
