Google and Usenet
An announcement from Google states that the ubiquitous search mechanism has fully integrated the past 20 years of Usenet archives into Google Groups, which now offers access to more than 800 million messages dating back to 1981. That, as they say, is impressive. The page referenced above also offers a historical timeline with links to Usenet messages such as the first mention of Apple's Lisa, early references to "emoticons," and even a link to the first "Me Too" post.
