Google acquires Deja’s Usenet service
500 million archived messages and posting will be added too. You can log in with a Deja account but right now it times out for me.
18/02/01 update: today I could logon to MyDeja’s account, only to realize that Google only continued the email part. The personalization features I used (eg. prefered newsgroups or threads, if my memory doesn’t fail me) are dropped ("other aspects of the MyDeja program will be discontinued").
