DejaNews Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
DejaNews is the old name of Deja.com, a site responsible for archiving and providing queries into the huge amount of information available in Usenet posts.Google acquired Deja.com's Usenet search technology, including the Usenet archive on February 12th, 2001. And after recovering more newsgroup posts from old tapes and re-indexing every message, the data since 1995 is now available through Google Groups. (A partial record of posts dating back to 1981 is also available.) Old-time usenetters thus sometimes call the new service Dejagoogle or Gooja.
Newsgroup archives offer several sources of information that may not be found anywhere else online and as such can be a very rich source of information. But some people are concerned about privacy and about the fact that something written in the past will be forever available on the Net.
Readers concerned about privacy can add a line of text to the start of their newsgroup messages called a header, X-No-Archive: yes, to deny the message to the archives. The main weakness of the anti-archiving header is that replies to a message that do not also contain the same header will end up archiving the new message, and any text quoted from the previous message.
