When I first came upon this whole new world on the internet filled with all sorts of discussions I was blown away, and didn't know what to do with myself. I started with browsing the different groups, and getting a feel for what topics were out there that i would be interested in. Although there are thousands of topics to talk about, I could not find one that I could really get interested in. When I actually did find a topic that I was willing to discuss, there were either very few members, or the discussion was over two years old. After over two hours I finally found a topic I was interested in, and I contributed to the USENET community.
Although I think the overall idea of USENET is a great one, I don't think I would use it on a regular basis. It was just too complicated for me, and it took too long to find something I was interested in. I do contribute to discussion groups on IMDB.com every now and again to discuss different movies that I have seen, and my opinion of them (I know I'm a nerd). I like this website because it's very easy to use and they have every movie you can think of. Unlike USENET, I will definitely be returning to IMDB.com.
