Introducing: Newzbin V3 Search for Google Desktop
“This gadget provides a minimalistic interface to searching newzbin. Results are shown in a popout container, in a format that looks like a “mini newzbin” “
The only rule about “Usenet”, is that you dont talk about usenet. So I wont go into that, but I can say that I use www.newzbin.com maybe a dozen times a day, it ranks very high on my list of source of entertainment.
What is newzbin you ask? Well think of it as the Google of Usenet.
Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use. It was established in 1980, following experiments from the previous year, over a decade before the World Wide Web was introduced and the general public got access to the Internet. It was originally conceived as a “poor man’s ARPANET,” employing UUCP to offer mail and file transfers, as well as announcements through the newly developed news software. This system, developed at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University, was called USENET to emphasize its creators’ hope that the USENIX organization would take an active role in its operation (Daniel et al, 1980).
So I figured, with how aweome the newest Google Desktop is for Windows that I would make a common task just a little bit easier!
