Does the MS decision to leave out Windows 7 newsgroups as well as a
newsreader in the OS a harbinger of the future?
That the UseNet is being phased out - or is dying - after almost a third of
a century?
Does MS know (and control) something we don't?
So is this also a social change dictated by technology's progress? -
That people will now forgo these discussions and instead concentrate on
'faster' means of conversation.
I don't really know where to stand on this but I feel we are witnessing
another - rather uncelebrated - change in online sociology.
Should I look forward to future newsgroups carried on Twitter someday?
Just some year-end musings (meaningless perhaps).
Wishing everybody a Happy New Year.
