In the News (Sun 20 Dec 09)

  
  DejaNews considered harmful
DejaNews indiscriminately archives trivia and bile along with every insight and smile; it is a veritable vacuum cleaner, slurping up anything posted on Usenet that isn't tagged with the appropriate (and relatively arcane) exclusion information.
DejaNews, while indisputably useful in the technical discussions of the comp.* or sci.* hierarchies, exerts a chilling effect on the activities of the rest of Usenet - the more casual anarchism of alt.* or rec.*, let alone talk.*.
DejaNews is delivering a potent tool into the hands of tomorrow's vengeful and intolerant moral crusaders by taking the equivalent of casual chat and turning it into a medium of record, where unwary speech may reap grim future rewards.

 Internet archives: Who's doing it? And can you protect your privacy? - SunWorld - January 1997
DejaNews Inc. in Austin, TX, is probably the most widely known as it has been offering access to text archived from newsgroups for a while.
DejaNews was formed when programmer Steve Madere was looking for a killer application for a new text indexing system he had developed.
SUBHEAD Privacy and copyright protection As a matter of policy, DejaNews will remove articles from an author if he or she requests it, but it can be a time consuming process for the author.

You can use Dejanews to search for her name and find out if she has written anything about your question within the last few months.
Though some posters resist having their posts archived by Dejanews and change their posting headers to prevent their being archived, most people still let their posts go into the hopper to be searched by others.
Dejanews allows you to post to newsgroups and to mail directly to individuals regarding their posts.

 Reading Usegroups using DejaNews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
DejaNews is a search engine which uses several thousand news groups as its data base.
Keeping up with all of these can be difficult and I can go to DejaNews and simply search on key words and often find one of those topics is being discussed on yet another group I had never heard of.
DejaNews will return a number of "hits"; that is, news postings that contain all of those words.

 Cameron Laird's personal notes on DejaNews
DejaNews [DN] named the original "best-known and largest database of Usenet news postings".
The raw work of searching they continue to hand off to DejaNews, for they don't maintain their own archives.
DejaNews makes no guarantees about what we can regard as its internal API.

 Forgeries and Dejanews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 08:21:44 -0500 From: amesr@interlog.com (Robert Ames) Subject: Forgeries and Dejanews It seems that an effective way to attack an individual is to forge a Usenet article purportedly from that person, and to include in the article "admissions" or bigotted statements which would reflect poorly on his character.
The forged article is then collected by Dejanews and similar organizations and archived.
Although I cancelled the forged article and posted a PGP-signed repudiation, the article was still archived at Dejanews, and was recently used by someone to "prove" that I had made statements which put me in a bad light.

 DejaNews To Stop Tracking Addresses - ZDNet UK News
But more controversial was DejaNews' tracking of the other half of the e-mail trail.
In the case of users who had logged to use site customisation, DejaNews knew immediately who was writing to whom and, presumably, what they were writing about, since the service specialises in tracking the Usenet electronic bulletin board service.
Rather, DejaNews officials say, they kept the logs to track how often people clicked on e-mail links to respond to others' postings, an important measure of the service's success.

 Spam-tracking 102 -- the many uses of DejaNews
Quite simply, DejaNews is one of the dedicated spam-tracker's most powerful tools, and it is quite simple to use.
DejaNews is a free service and trademark of Deja News (TM) is a trademark of Deja News Research Service, Inc. They make their money by selling banner advertising that the user sees across the top of their screen when it is used.
There are ways to prevent a given UseNet message from being archived by DejaNews, and there are ways to remove your OWN information from DejaNews, but for legitimate spam-trackers, that's not important.

 Google Acquires Deja.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
DejaNews’ Web interface exposed Usenet to millions of Web users; in fact, many new users thought that DejaNews was Usenet.
Furthermore, prior to DejaNews, most participants in Usenet discussions thought of their postings as ephemeral.
All that began to change in 1999, when DejaNews executives attempted to cash in on the e-commerce explosion.

 Keep the Deja Archive Alive! Petition
We, the undersigned, believe that Deja.com (formerly DejaNews) should renew its commitment to the long-term archiving of posts from the Usenet newsgroup discussion forums.
Since 1995, DejaNews has been the primary source for searchable archiving of Usenet posts on the World Wide Web.
Unfortunately, however, in the summer of 2000, during a move of the company's offices, the entire archive prior to May 1999 became, and of this writing still is, unavailable to users of the site.

 Linux-Magazin - Dejanews
Dejanews sucht beinahe alle Usenet-Newsgroups nach Stichworten ab.
Um auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben, was so in den Newsgroups getuschelt wird, bietet sich http://www.dejanews.com an, eine Suchmaschine, die die Artikel (beinahe) aller Newsgroups archiviert und schnelle Suchabfragen zu frei wählbaren Stichworten erlaubt.
Ob irgendjemand in irgendeiner Newsgroup in irgendeinem Artikel ein bestimmtes Stichwort fallenließ, läßt sich einfach feststellen, indem man einmal täglich bei Dejanews andockt, eine Suchanfrage startet, die Ergebnisse absteigend nach dem Datum sortieren läßt, und in Augenschein nimmt, was sich gegenüber der letzten Suchabfrage verändert hat.

 Deja.com Review
Deja.com (formerly known as DejaNews) is the best-known and largest database of Usenet news postings, with articles back to 1995.
In May 2000, the Usenet archive older than May 1999 was dropped, but it is supposed to be available again before the end of 2000.
Deja.com displays 25 hits at a time, but in the Power Search it provides options for 50 or 100 as well.

 Bonnie via DejaNews
I think she had been fighting it out on misc.kids back in 1994 before parent-l was started, but that predated the DejaNews archives as well.
Anyway, I got a surprise: although there were some recent messages about alternative cancer treatments and web stuff, the vast majority were actually old home-ed messages from back when dm used to post the home-ed digest to the misc.education.home-school.misc newsgroup.
Incidentally, if you want to use DejaNews to read some of Bonnie's writings, I have to warn you that it's not enough to search for just "Bonnie Bedford", because Bonnie often signed her messages with just "Bonnie" or "B", and her name did not always appear in her message headers.

 Augusta Georgia: technology@ugusta: DejaNews puts newsgroups within easy reach 04/04/98   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The new, free My DejaNews service lets you subscribe to newsgroups, making it much easier to read and write in your favorite groups.
This is no replacement for a capable news-reading program -- it doesn't even let you use a signature with your postings -- but if you want to keep up with online discussions while you're out of range of your regular Internet provider, this is an excellent option.
This site tackles two simple functions -- metric-English conversions and translations of the various oddball ratios in English measurements -- with simple pull-down menus to specify the current and desired units of volume, weight or temperature measurement (say, milligrams to ounces or cups to quarts).

The point is, that others use the no archive X-Header too, so don't expect to find all posts in DejaNews.

 Barrapunto de acs | ¿Permitirá Google un DejaNews libre?
Y que el acceso a las búsquedas en esta gran base de datos quede bajo e control de la compañía Google es algo que no convence a la comunidad en la red.
Por ello, han pedido a Google que liberen el código de funcionamiento de DejaNews, el cual ya no van a utilizar, y que permitan acceso a la inmensa base de datos a un servicio libre.
No creo que sea algo tan sencillo como liberar un código fuente para que cada uno se monte su dejanews particular, a menos que los discos duros se pongan a 5 duros.

Dejanews began in March 1995 and has kept an archive of all messages sent through the free service since then.

 P3D Dejanews Communities
In looking at various ways to get a handle on the bandwidth problem involved in p3d, one option is to set up a Dejanews Community (ie, a Forum).
This would involve a bit of a procedural shift as you connect to it via a web browser (dunno if Lynx would work) - one nice feature is that you can search all of the past messages.
The MAJOR advantage to this would be that presumably dejanews will never been down for an extended period, so even if Calcite crashes for 90 days during the summer, the list would not be affected.
