I was a Usenet junkie back in the day. Usenet predated the whole web experience, and developing a decent web-based interface for it has been challenging. DejaNews (later, Deja.com) was a fairly good effort, but I was happy when it got bought out by Google. Still Google Groups hasn’t had much in the way of feature development in some time now (starred topics is nice, but that’s been around for a while). So I was happy to find, when I surfed Google Groups today, some nice new features. But the most important one is this: RSS feeds. Let it sink in. This one, simple feature could truly make Usenet useful again.
