Another method of web 2.0 is Perpetual Beta. What does it means? It is software which being updated for certain time and since it is connected to the internet, the service would be available and stay updated unless there is maintenance. It allows users to interact in a real time with the software.
For this method, I will explain it with the software called KakaoTalk. KakaoTalk is mobile phone software for communication which has a function like chat and messenger. This application available on Iphone, Android, and BlackBerry for free (only required to download the application)
KakaoTalk provides lots of benefits for the users who need to communicate with their relatives, families, friends and other people who have known you. One of the benefits is this application only required an internet connection. Therefore, you only need to find a WIFI spot or using internet data from your smart phone. Another advantage is that this software is cheaper to use rather than using instant message, especially if you want to communicate with people outside of your area or abroad. This software also has a unique method, which is ask you for a special ID. It means that you do not have to know your friend phone number to be able to communicate, you only need to know your friend’s ID to add him/her as your friend in your KakaoTalk account.
From a perpetual beta perspective, KakaoTalk required updated its service after several weeks. Sometimes this update is required to make the application run smoother.
