del.icio.us was built over several years with only incremental improvements. Plus, early adopters are tolerant, and if you choose them right, easy to impress. To quote someone else (maybe pg, i can't remember who right now): "It [your first release] doesn't have to do EVERYTHING, it just has to do SOMETHING". sage advice. If have a good relationship with your beta testers, I'd say release every new feature as you code/test it. Feedback is god's gift to startups.
