Newsgroups are public discussion forums that are divided into subject areas covering everything from music to movies to computers to sex to sociology to science to.... You name it, it's there. You can read and reply to other messages, or start your own discussion. Unlike e-mail, your messages can be read by all other net users. It's a bit like pinning a notice to a noticeboard rather than putting a private note in someone's pigeon hole. This newsreader will connect you to newsgroups.
