Usenet was the first real online community, and the public development of Usenet has had a lasting effect on the internet. For example, smilies were first used in Usenet discussions and Usenet was the first target of spammers, both of which can now be found in every corner of the internet. Usenet is the direct ancestor to the message boards commonly found on the internet today, and many people still connect to Usenet to discuss almost any topic imaginable.
Usenet discussions are sorted by topic into different broad categories known as hierarchies, which are filtered into specific discussion groups called newsgroups. A simple example of a common Usenet hierarchy is sci.* which contains only scientific subjects. An example of a newsgroup in this hierarchy would be sci.med.emergency, which is focused on discussing emergency medical science, exactly as the name implies. Beyond science, the other hierarchies found on Usenet are:
- comp.* - computer-related discussions
- humanities.* - literature, religion, history, etc. discussions
- misc.* - any newsgroup that doesn.t belong in another hierarchy
- news.* - discussions regarding Usenet itself (creation/removal of newsgroups, abuse issues, etc)
- rec.* - discussions regarding recreation of all types
- soc.* - current events/societal issues, as well as simple socializing (.chatting.)
- talk.* - discussions of sensitive topics. Newsgroups here tend to include very lively debates, where soc.* is more casual
- alt.* - any other discussion that does not conform to the other categories
Usenet was designed from the ground-up to be simple to access and adapt to the desires of its users. The current state of Usenet is an excellent sign of that, as the network now handles the duty of hosting an abundance of files as well as the discussion groups that laid the groundwork for its current success.
