Thing #42: Google Groups / Usenet

I've just been exploring Google Groups. This is an interesting service, with a great useability. After signing in I was able to easily search for and subscribe to two interest groups, one on cartography and society.libraries.talk.
The option to only read and not receive emails is quite useful. Even though they have a certain "retro" feel to them, I believe discussion groups have their place in the web 2.1 environment.

It's good to know that even some of the retro applications will still have a place in this era of web 2.0!
