I was lamenting the (asymptotic) death of usenet to a colleague the
other day and asked, "where are all the cool kids these days?" I was
only half joking: back when news was the main nexus of interaction
for technical communities, it really was where you'd go to find
things out and where you could reasonably expect to interact with
experts.
I also miss local news groups. My university had many and later my
employer, US Army Ballistic Research Lab (BRL), had some. They were
great, non-centralized places to, surprise, share news. No equivalent
seems to exist.
