Of course, there's no guarantee that you'll be selected to participate, and there's no hard start date for the beta. But Blizzard's posted up a FAQ on the process that you should probably read. Especially this part about needing to own games before being able to sign up:
In order for a Battle.net account to be able to opt in to upcoming beta tests, you must have at least one Blizzard Entertainment game that you own attached to the account. Please note that the World of Warcraft trial edition does not count toward this requirement.

They have it on their main page at Blizzard.com. You can click this link and it should let you sign up.
I do have a battle net account and everything, owning stuff like Diablo 2, but any battle net page tells me "forbidden" now. Either it's getting hammered, or they're region locking it for this beta test or something...
I think the Battle.Net site is regional nowadays. My mate told me about this about a month ago, and we just kept on getting 403 errors on ANY and ALL B.Net sites.
EDIT: Oeh! I just did a quick Google-search, since I'm acking to get into the beta now. And for us europeans -> http://eu.battle.net
That was easy to sign up for. They also sign you up for any future Diablo and Warcraft betas in the process.
Hopefully Blizzard lets up and notices what companies like Microsoft did (Halo 3 beta, Windows 7 RC) and allow tons of people to get into it. Otherwise, they'll just have a bunch of people snagging it by other means with no way to help them improve on SC2.
I can't sign up because they wont migrate WoW accounts in europe yet.
Quit dicking around Blizzard and hurry the fuck up with your games you silly silly people.
God DAMNIT! I want to download the thing NAO =(
Blizzard, you should fix it for me... I wants it soooo bad..

just another opportunity for spammers to send u hacked links to betas that steal your shit.
How come it says there's a problem when I try to send the info.
edit: finally, it worked. nice.

Screwed if you don't like, have a CD key first. Since it says you have to have added a game before you can be apart of the BETA settings.
Edit - Not a big deal, since I plan on buying the Diablo Battle Chest soon.

FYI for anyone with troubles. I had to use IE to get the downloader thing to work... firefox led be to an "oops" page.
War3 and D2 games added fine, but my starcraft cd key isn't accepted "too many attempts"
