Usenet: Places
built 191 days ago
Usenet was the initial Internet community and the place for many of the most important public developments in the commercial Internet. It was the place where Tim Berners-Lee announced the launch of the World Wide Web[4], where Linus Torvalds announced the Linux project[5], and where Marc Andreesen announced the creation of the Mosaic browser and the introduction of the image tag,[6] which revolutionized the World Wide Web by turning it into a graphical medium.

The Usenet is an especially useful place to search for the answer to a question, since so many questions are asked and answered there. It is ... particularly useful when looking for information about late-breaking or non-mainstream subjects likely to be part of the popular conversation. The following sections provide more information.

The transmission of Usenet news is entirely cooperative. Feeds are generally provided out of good will and the desire to distribute news everywhere. There are places which provide feeds for a fee (e.g. UUNET), but for the large part no exchange of money is involved.
