The net is made up of more than just e-mail and the web, and newsgroups can be an invaluable business tool if used correctly. Most companies just aren't aware of their capabilities. It is here that we can see the versatility of the internet as a business tool. Newsgroups provide a highly efficient way to share business knowledge or expertise on an immediate and global basis. Getting access to newsgroups and discussion forums is very easy. Virtually all internet browsers have news readers built in. Using the news reader, one can browse a list of available newsgroups or search for ones that include a keyword or phrase. It is possible, though, to get access to a wider selection of newsgroups through the world wide web. The biggest such site can be found at www.dejanews.com and gives access to over 50,000 newsgroups.
