What is a newsgroup?
Requested and Answered by IFAQ on Aug-12-2007 22:48 (185 reads)

Newsgroups provide a free exchange of ideas, opinions and comments usually confined to a specific interest. Newsgroups are an invaluable source of information. You visit a newsgroup, read messages that provoke a response, post new messages when you want to propose a topic, and revisit when you want to see who responded.

Unlike e-mail, there is no mail involved with newsgroups. Most of the activity occurs while you are online, including reading and responding to messages. For this reason, most people find that newsgroups are more interactive and conversational than e-mail.

There are more than 40,000 public newsgroups presently on the Internet. To subscribe to a newsgroup, review the USENET newsgroups offered in our menu of newsgroups. If you do not see the one you are looking for, send us a request to include it in our selection.
