Google Groups is a service from Google that supports discussion groups, including many Usenet newsgroups, based on common interests. Membership in Google Groups is free of charge and many groups are anonymous. Users can find discussion groups related to their interests and participate in threaded conversations, either through a web interface or by e-mail. They can also start new groups. Google Groups also includes an archive of Usenet newsgroup postings dating back to 1981 and supports reading and posting to Usenet groups. Users can also set up mailing list archives for e-mail lists that are hosted elsewhere. HistoryIn February 2001, Google acquired Deja News, which provided a search engine to access an archive of Usenet newsgroup articles. Users were then able to access these Usenet newsgroups through the new Google Groups interface. By the end of 2001 the archive had been supplemented with other archived messages dating back to 11 May 1981. These early posts from 1981-1991 were donated to Google by the University of Western Ontario, based on archives by Henry Spencer from the University of Toronto. Shortly after, Google released a new version, which allowed users to create their own (non-Usenet) groups. In February 2006, Google modified the interface of Google Groups, adding profiles and post ratings. Sometime around 2008 or 2009 Google also began removing and censoring entire Usenet groups in the alt.* category. From Wikipedia under the
