newsgroup
newsgroup A collection of Internet users who discuss a topic. This topic could be a broad one such as parenting, or it could be quite narrow, such as a technical facet of an
OPERATING SYSTEM. Contributors to a newsgroup use an item of software known as a
NEWSREADER. This enables them to make a contribution to the newsgroup (a
POSTING) and read the contributions from others. Newsgroups adopt a
HIERARCHICAL NAMING convention. For example, the newsgroup comp.infrsystems.www.announce is a newsgroup dedicated to making announcements about new
WEB SITES and forms part of the hierarchy which is rooted in comp. The first word in the hierarchy signifies the type of newsgroup: for example,
COMP is usually associated with newsgroups which have a technical computing content and
ALT is associated with alternative topics, often of an adult nature. Newsgroups can be moderated or unmoderated; the former have a human administrator who reads postings before they appear and rejects those which are not directly relevant; in the latter type of newsgroup any posting appears.
