NNTP & Newsgroups

Unlike e-mail, which is a conversation between two people, Usenet is a conversation between many people. Usenet is an international place for a meeting, where people get together to discuss various events, where one can learn the latest computer world news and discuss anything of interest.
You do not know your companys appearance, age, etc. You will be judged by your words and your ability to express and formulate your point of view. Users themselves follow the newsgroups etiquette based on worked out rules. A moderator (a newsgroup administrator and supervisor) keeps the order.
News is sent between special so called news servers via the NNTP protocol. Newsgroup system software consists of two parts: an NNTP server and a newsgroup client. The Newsgroup server is a program that manages discussion groups and delivers messages to other computers (if the network is available). You can read news by connecting to one of news servers using special software called a newsgroup reader (or a usenet client). Using a usenet client, it is also possible to send your own messages. This software has something in common with e-mail clients.
For example, the popular Newsgroup Commander Pro allows you to search, read, reply, and send new messages using a simple, yet handy, interface.
A main benefit of NNTP is speed: after all the news is downloaded, you can read it offline. Alternatively, when using a web forum, you have to manually open each branch or topic to view new messages, which takes a lot of time.
Nowadays, there are many newsgroup servers. The availability of newsgroups for viewing is determined by the owner of the ISP you are dealing with.
Newsgroups have hierarchical content structure. This allows you to display articles more conveniently, as compared to common mailing lists. Each news server has a list of topics that can be discussed.
Topics may vary greatly from server to server: humor, entertainment, style and fashion, jobs, sports, computers, software, hobbies, music, science, world news, marketing, politics and more. Many topics are connected with a local geographic district, this allows you, say, to send an ad about selling your car and be sure that only people from your district will receive it.
