I wonder if updating stops because of lack of traffic. I would think traffic would at least slow down because of lack of updating -- I guess it's a chicken and egg thing. I think some libraries lack managed technology plans, so these things get put up on the initiative of one individual. One issue with the "always beta" thing is that some of these technologies pass out of fashion quickly ... like MySpace. On the same note, a problem with the internet, in general, is that it never forgets, despite some our our librarianish concerns over archiving. There are half-finished, never updated websites that will continue limping along until we run out of coal... I agree with the comment about updating.
