Usenet, a portmanteau of "user" and "network" [citation needed], is a worldwide distributed Internet discussion system. It evolved from the general purpose UUCP architecture of the same name. One notable difference between a BBS or web forum and Usenet is the absence of a central server and dedicated administrator. Usenet is distributed among a large, constantly changing conglomeration of servers that store and forward messages to one another. These servers are loosely connected in a variable mesh. This is similar to the complex transportation plan of a city. There are multiple ways to get to any point in the city. If any of those ways is blocked for any reason, there is always another avenue for one to get where one wants to go. In this manner, the User Network or Usenet allows newsgroup postings to reach their many destinations quickly and easily. Individual users may read messages from and post messages to a local server operated by their Internet service provider, university or employer. The servers then exchange the messages among one another, making the messages available to readers beyond the original server. Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use. It was conceived in 1979 and publicly established in 1980 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University,[1] over a decade before the World Wide Web was developed and the general public got access to the Internet. It was originally built on the "poor man's ARPANET," employing UUCP as its transport protocol to offer mail and file transfers, as well as announcements through the newly developed news software. The name USENET emphasized its creators' hope that the USENIX organization would take an active role in its operation.[2] The articles that users post to Usenet are organized into topical categories called newsgroups, which are themselves logically organized into hierarchies of subjects. For instance, sci.math and sci.physics are within the sci hierarchy, for science. When a user subscribes to a newsgroup, the news client software keeps track of which articles that user has read.[3]

4. online virtual communities
July 21, 2009
Virtual communities may synthesize Web 2.0 technologies with the community, and therefore have been described as Community 2.0, although strong community bonds have been forged online since the early days of USENET. Online communities depend upon social interaction and exchange between users online. This emphasizes the reciprocity element of the unwritten social contract between community members. Some of the earliest forms of web 1.0 virtual community websites included Theglobe.com (1994), Geocities (1994), and Tripod (1995). These early communities focused on bringing people together to inte... (read more)

5. SEO Contests - A History
March 23, 2009
The Sulumits Retsambew SEO contest might be using a whole new (and rather funny) keyword, but the concept itself of a competition on SEO is far from novel.

Did you know that the first SEO competition wasn’t even in English? A German group on Usenet started the first ever competition for webmasters on November 15, 2002. Incidentally, the keyword used in that contest – Schnitzelmitkartoffelsalat,... (read more)

6. Napster, Gnutella, Kazaa, BitTorrent ... What about the Usenet?
December 17, 2008
So, what is this 'Usenet' thing? It must be some new file-sharing network, right? Wrong. It is certainly not new (though relatively few people know about it and even fewer use it regularly), and it is not exactly a file-sharing network, too. Originally, the Usenet, or Internet News was invented in 1986 (long before the WWW came into existence) as a tool for discussions - a network of online bulletin boards. It was used for the publishing of email-like messages to discuss various topics of interest and it is being used for this purpose to this day. Then why did we put it in one group with Gnute...

8. Making the Most of Fonts on your Web Pages
June 02, 2008
Back in the pre-historic days of the web, when dinosaurs roamed Usenet and people didn’t have numbers in their names, Lynx was the slickest browser on the block. In fact it was the only web browser on the block. Veterans will remember browsing many text only pages using its cool blue interface. Back in the days, as elderly Netheads like to call it, there wasn’t much call for images, sound and other such multimedia nonsense.
Things have come a long way since Lynx. Modern browsers do handle text formatting a lot better than they used to, but for budding designers, it’s still a balancing ac... (read more)

By Jakob Jelling http://www.sitetube.com
Some very early users of the Internet - not the worldwide web as we know it today - but the Internet from the early 1980s, will have heard of, and likely used, Usenet. This was the collective name applied to text-based electronic bulletin boards that were used to communicate in the days before the web and email existed, and that are still in use today. The Usenet posts were first collected and organized for worldwide web use in 1995, by a company called Deja News. In 2001, Google bought Deja News and applied their considerable search expertise to ... (read more)
