newsgroup
Abbreviations: NG
Definition: Newsgroups (it is always spelled as one word) have been around longer than the Internet has been known, since the early 1980s. There are now tens of thousands of groups encompassing every possible topic. They are available through the Usenet (an early adjunct of the Net) and may require special access through your provider and even special software. However, Google offers not only access but a 20-year archive.
