Why did Google Destroy Dejanews?


Recommended Posts

Dejanews in 1998-1999 was the hottest place to go to discuss products and ask for opinions, ask questions before you bought it. then Google bought it and turned it into usenet only. why did google make it so obselete?

I think Google Groups is excellent :) I never used Deja News however I kinda wish I had now, sounds good :yes:

Is there not another, similar, site to what Deja was before Google bought them out?

Obsolete? Not our problem if you dont have the slightest clue what newsgroups are! Google Groups is the best (and probably only) search engine over asstons of newsgroup content, the best information source you can get!

DejaNews was a usenet search engine with posting ability, and then an Usenet unrelated product information database. There are enough sites out there that do the latter part. Google Groups is exactly what's it supposed to be, an Usenet search engine. It's 100% feature complete.
