What exactly is Usenet? As defined by MIT in What is Usenet, Usenet is a "world-wide distributed discussion system". By using Usenet, people "exchange articles tagged with one or more universally-recognised labels, called newsgroups." For more information and a hypertext version of Usenet Help, click here.

The section includes some WWW-based Indices and Search Engines for browsing and finding newsgroups. Some of these sites even include a searchable index, similar to other popular Web Search Tools. This is followed by a list of newsgroups related to Internet Marketing Research.

Newsgroup List

The following newsgroups are accessed through the HKBU Computing and Telecommunications Services Centre (CTSC) news server. When you click on any one of the following links, a separate NEWS window will be opened.

To learn more about on "How to Join a Usenet Newsgroup", click here.

If the CTSC news server no longer carries a particular newsgroup, you will need to try other news servers instead. The Open News Servers contain a list of news servers (such as Siwash (Canada) News Server or Macro4.com) which are free to access, have good response times, and have a comprehensive news feed.

Please also note that this is only a partial list of marketing-related newsgroups. For a more comprehensive newsgroup list, you may try the newsgroup list maintained at the Nijenrode Business Webserver.
