Newsgroup
Definition by Best Host Ratings
A Newsgroup is a way of sharing news and information across the network that predates the World Wide Web. They are made up of bulletin boards where individuals make postings to share with the community. More efficient than mass emailing, a message on a newsgroup stays on the news server for all to see without clogging any one's mailbox. Newsgroups are frequently used to post important information.
