In the next one week, TechSling Weblog has teamed up with Binverse to make available 3 free premium Usenet accounts worth approximately $100. Binverse provides an all-in-one Usenet solution offering blazing fast Usenet access, easy-to-use free newsreader software, and a powerful built in search engine that makes it easier than ever to download files and messages from Usenet on Windows and Mac OS X.
Key Points About Usenet
- Usenet was created in 1979 by two university students looking for a way to share “news”.
- Usenet quickly grew into the largest Internet discussion community a full 10 years before the World Wide Web was created in August 1991.
- Long before online forums, you could find lively discussion groups on just about any topic imaginable. Usenet is the place where the World Wide Web was announced by Tim Berners-Lee, Linus Torvalds announced Linux and Mark Andreessen unleashed the Netscape browser. And where some popular Internet sites like IMDb got their start.
- The Usenet “newsgroups” are still very active with large companies like Mozilla still choosing to announce major projects through Usenet.
- Usenet used to be provided for free by Universities and Internet Service Providers, but is now offered primarily through Premium Usenet Providers. These premium providers, such as Binverse, have greatly increased the scale and speed of Usenet.
