New site: Usenet News/Blog

For those interested, I've been working on a new site that is dedicated to Usenet "news".

The site scratches an itch that I've had, and I though that others might benefit from it as well: Finding out about new and updated Usenet based tools/software/sites.

As it stands now, it can be cumbersome to keep track of what the latest beta is for xxx application - especially if you're interested in multiple programs and/or multiple platforms (Windows and Linux, for example).

I'm also in the process of creating a backend site that is a knowledge-base of sorts. This will include tips, scripts, and more "technical" information.


So, have a look.

Thanks!

Liked the info about the clients.

Alt.Binz can also be used under wine ;)

Thank you! :)

The review page on the wiki has that under "Pro's"

Thanks everyone! I'm trying to get an update once a day or so. And I've been pretty successful for the past month. Some days there just isn't anything to report, though.

If someone happens to know of an application that I might be missing, please shoot me an email or PM here.

I also get updates if you reply to this thread.

Thanks again!

I started a p2p blog myself..

They are addicting..

:P

You should post a link...If it's anything like my site, it can use all the help it can get.

It's near impossible trying to find a good place to advertise for a service like this.

Those that I've talked said that it was very useful, but the hitcount isn't representing that yet. [shrug]

Nice site m8, look very nice

Very nice site, I love it :D

I've upgraded the site to focus on NZB's for TV shows. It seems that you guys were about the only ones interested in Usenet client updates. :)

The old info is still accessible at the "Blog" link from the front page.

Thanks!

very nice, but on the top of site it should say:

indexing: ab.whatever, ab.whatever, ab.whatever, etc

other than that its pretty sweet :rolleyes:
