Just got the information from Bink, that he has posted an article about the Microsoft Newsgroup Social Analyzer. Here's a snip: Microsoft researchers are working on technology that makes it easier to navigate Usenet news groups, and which could help clear clutter in e-mail inboxes. A concept called the Community .net Server takes a new approach to displaying Usenet groups and message threads, making it easier for users to pick a relevant group, cut out spam and display the most active threads first.
