(OT) : Trying to Cure Google Groups
- The Usenet Improvement Project -is- So Much Wishful Thinking

Mike - The Usenet Improvement Project
-website- UIP - http://improve-usenet.org/
reads more like the BASH Google and High-Tech Pogrom
by UseNet Users Against Google Groups Members.

? UseNet -versus- Google Groups ?
Circa 1980 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
Circa 2001 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Groups
Also Note - Yahoo! Groups
Circa 1998 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo_Groups

Over Time there will be a Generational Shift of Internet
Users from UseNet to the Yahoo/Google Group types
of Web-Venues :
* The "Groups" are a Web-Users "Place-To-Go" with
their Internet Appliance (PC)
+ + + This Number is Growing Daily -because- The
Groups are Heavily Promoted -because- The Groups
Make Money for their Corporations.
* UseNet remains the Refuse of the Old-Time Internet
Users and Techies who View the Internet as a Technical
Challenge and Adventure.
- - - This Number is Getting Smaller Yearly -because-
Away {process} of Monitising UseNet via NewsReaders
has not been found; except for the Selling of NewsReader
Services; which are not that Profitable.

Good NetKeeping Seal of Approval {GNKSA}

GOOGLE is Ranked # 241 on the Forune 500 List with
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google
Revenue of $10.6 Billion and Profits of $3.1 Billion (30%)

Google - The Interactive Usenet Archive and Google Groups
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google#Web-based_software
are both webbased Profit Centers for Google.
Google generates Revenue {Income/Money} by displaying
Advertisements from the AdWords Service that are Tailored
to the Content of the UseNet and Google Groups Messages
displayed on the Users Screen.
* Google's Hosting of the Interactive Usenet Archive
is not going away cause it makes money for Google.
* Google Groups are not going away cause they make
money for Google.

SO ONCE AGAIN - WebSites like The Usenet Improvement
Project -website- UIP - http://improve-usenet.org/
Are Great Places for Venting about Google and Google
Groups and the Way-It Used-To-Be on UseNet -but-
They amount to nothing more than Wishful Thinking
-versus- One of the Two Major Economic Engines of
the Internet : Paid Click-per-View Advertising.

FWIW the 'other' of the Two Major Economic Engines
of the Internet is : Subscription Based Web Services.
