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."

    So.. they've invented deja/google groups?

    GUBA is a commercial porn site that masquerades as a Usenet archive. It's been around for years, and certainly isn't as comprehensive as Google Groups. The linked "report" is just a blog post.

    Any particular reason why this got posted? Did the editor get free membership in return?

    It's just one of many commercial USENET-binary services.

    Yawn.

  4. WTF?! Easynews has 100TB and a better search by mrgodzilla · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What's up with this ad for GUBA??

    Easynews kicks the crap out of GUBA and is cheaper. We have
    a better global search, carry over 100TB, bigger/faster gigE
    pipes, even unrar and thumbnail your svcd's!!

    So I ask, what's up with this ad?
