Newsgroups Before the Web, and before email became common place, online communication meant posting text messages on electronic bulletin boards. Others could read and reply to these messages. Usenet is collection of these bulletin boards ("newsgroups") started in 1979. There are thousands of newsgroups on just about every conceivable topic, hosted on computers all over the world. Today's newsgroups are as lively and vigorous as ever, so participating in newsgroups can be a great way to promote your business. However most newsgroup members are very sensitive about off-topic posts, spam and cross-posting (placing the same message on multiple newsgroups). These are general no-no's, but beyond that each major group has a written Charter or FAQ which describes the rules of that group. In most cases the Charter allows, on-topic messages with a Sig, and usually, this is the only form of advertising allowed. You may be able to access newsgroups using facilities provided in your e-mail program, using or special software, but failing that, you can access newsgroups through a number of web sites, the best known of which is Google Groups.
