Google Groups - 20 Year Usenet Archives

As I was poking around the Web, I chanced upon this little gem: twenty years of Usenet archives. There's some REALLY interesting stuff here, including:

• First mention of Microsoft
• first mention of MTV
• first mention of Star Wars 6
• first mention of Madonna
• the term IPO gets debuted
• the term "search engine" gets mentioned

More Groups on the Web: Are you looking for a group of like-minded folks on the Web? There's lots of places you can find a group; here's just a few:

• Freecycle.org: There are literally hundreds of Freecycle groups all over the world; just find one near you and you can post that you need something or want to give something away.
• How To Find Message Boards and Forums on the Web: Message boards and forums are the place to go if you love to discuss the latest news and world events, chew on the merits of Firefox vs. Internet Explorer, or anything else that might catch your fancy.
• MySpace: One of the largest group sites on the Web, with over 50 million users and counting.
