I use Google Groups to follow usenet through my browser. My ISP connections
tend to be complex and variable due to travel, and most actual usenet clients
seem to expect that you will be pulling your usenet feed from a single
location. The threading on Google groups isn't spectacular, and the search
capabilities don't match dejanews (which it bought out) but if you want to
browse some usenet groups and occasionally take part in discussions, Google
Groups is adequate
