Via Mernit’s (and everywhere around), I noticed that Google seems to be adding improvements to their Usenet interface Groups.
No rocket-science here or the killer-app, but actually Google’s next step to battle Microsoft. Microsoft has been eyeing UseNet for a while. UseNet has also always been a proven community builder, way before there were ‘blogs’. Developers hung out, asked and answered questions. Groupies too. In my younger days, I even hung out with a band of other funny people.
Killer-App? UseNet has always been around. Thanks to this guy.
