Between the years of 2000 and 2008, Usenet has increased leaps and bounds, once again demonstrating how Usenet is easily adaptable to changes in technology.

In 1979, Usenet was born from an idea to share information through the Unix operating system. After picking up steam through the 1980’s, it encompassed more than 11,000 computer networks by 1988. It was not long before Usenet users found more to talk about than Unix and as the community grew, so did the variety of subjects that Newsgroups began to cater to.

Nowadays, newsgroups are in the thousands, and represented in our chart, the sharing of information is more relative than it was in its inception, dictating the strength and longevity that Usenet represents. At 30 years young, it becomes apparent that Usenet will only continue to be a grand resource for communities to share information.
