<< Who of you is actually using Google Reader as newsgroup reader? >>
Did you mean Google Reader – or should that have been Google Groups? (I know Google Groups offers Atom and RSS feeds, so you could use Google Reader I guess...)
I use Google Groups – but only for Google Groups (rather than Usenet newsgroups). The only time I read Usenet newsgroups using Google Groups is when I search them for help with error messages / bugs / etc. |
Yep, I meant "Google Groups"... fixed! |
I use google groups extensively.. thats a secondary souce for communiyt conversations |
Hey, I just discovered something new :
When you search "author:Google Employee" in Google groups, now you got a small icon, a little green "G"
http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=author%3A%22Google+Employee%22&start=10&scoring=d&
http://groups.google.com/groups/img/green_g.gif
I go on the first URL each day (thereabouts) and this wasn't here before...
Just a small news, but a scoop! :-P |
Tom: That reminds me of that story when Google changed the arrows you click to move from one page of search results to another. |
I just use google groups as a mailing list. I have for instance a mailing list for the local press guys to mail news of JCI Brugge (www.jci-brugge.be). I didn't knew that it was also a newsgroup reader. I have to check that out! |
I use Groups as a discussion board since I can't access my Gmail account from work. |
Nobody who's serious about Usenet reads it from GG. But as a Usenet research tool it's invaluable (not that hard, given that there is no competition). |
I occasionally read and post to Usenet groups, and when I do so I use Google Groups. It's not worth my time to install separate software for that. |
I've used XanaNews before... at the moment, I don't check the Usenet. |
