In 1979, Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis invented the Usenet. Messages, also called articles or posts, were posted to one or more categories, now known as newsgroups. Usenet could be regarded as the forerunner of the today well known boards or internet forums, furthermore, it can be descriped as a hybrid between web forums and e-mail.

In general, the Usenet is an international electronical information network structued similar to the Internet. Today, it is regarded as the biggest platform for file and news exchange in the whole world. Information and data are exchanged in newsgroups which can be accessed by using special software, called newsreaders.
