GUBA makes Usenet search easy as Google

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bandwidth-hogs dept.

ChipGuy writes "Despite the growing popularity of p2p networks,Usenet is the real treasure trove of multimedia content including vintage cartoons, westerns and popular television shows. Nearly two terabytes of data is added everyday to Usenet. GUBA, a seven year old San Francisco company is making it easier to find the information on Usenet through the browser. Its like " Google for Usenet," says this report."

      Anyone I have every told about Usenet (which is very few), I explained that it should be considered like joining "Fight Club". And what's the first rule of Fight Club?...

    Slashdot keeps finding ever more creative ways to get the words Google on its front page. This story really has nothing to do with Google yet they managed to google it up.

    Really makes me wonder just how much Google stock did they buy anyway?? :) ....

    Oh no! Now KDE, Gnome, AND Google will be obsoleted! What is this world coming to... GORM and GUBA are taking over.

    Posting a comment is a little different than whatever GUBA had to do to purchase a front page advertisement on Slashdot.

    You're not paying to pirate. You can do that on your own without spending any money. What you are paying for is "advanced piracy-related services".
