News offered the ability to read Usenet in the traditional
chronological, per-group manner, and to post new messages to the
network.

Okay, okay. The Register was wrong.

And it looks like Deja was a pioneer in the abomninable "My..." naming
practice. <spit>

Deja News Introduces Free, Web-based Usenet Newsreader; New "My Deja
News" Service Makes 50,000+ Internet Discussion Forums Accessible to All
Web Users -- Business Wire, Jan 27, 1998 -- With My Deja News, you can
read and participate in discussions at home, at work, on the road or
from any machine with Web access. Deja News tracks your subscription
information and read/unread articles on its servers, so you can simply
log in from anywhere and pick up where you left off. This easy access
is particularly advantageous for people who need access to newsgroups at
work because, unlike PC-based newsreaders, My Deja News isn't
constrained by corporate security firewalls.

Okay, okay. :)
