Discussion
Groups
Discussion groups are also known as threaded discussion groups, electronic fora
and asynchronous chat. They are very similar to newsgroups and mailing lists.
Discussion groups are much more organized than live-chat, and tend to be topic-related.
Many users prefer discussion groups because they can think about their response
before posting. Usenet is the largest collection of Newsgroups.
