Newsgroups


Newsgroups have advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that if you get a lot of people posting in reply to your topic then you can get your point across and have a discussion gathering information on that certain topic from a variety of views. 

There are limitations for example, if you don't get anyone post in reply to your topic then there is no discussion and you can no longer gain any information or anything. It becomes merely a post on the internet. Also you have to have an account, log in details, to be able to post in these newsgroups which will put a lot of people off as they cannot be bothered to sign up to the website. Therefore these limitations make newsgroups absolutely useless.

Newsgroups can be both useless and useful, depending on whether you get people replying to your post or not.
