Post Description

Unison is a carefully-crafted, genuinely revolutionary Mac OS X Usenet newsreader. It offers all 
the expected newsreader functionality: easy-to-navigate threaded discussions, the ability to 
ignore annoying posters, multiple signature management, and easy, Mail-like posting with spell
checking and all the trimmings.

But it also goes much, much further than any other Usenet client on earth, starting with a unique 
four-view interface that lets you view and work with Usenet group content in four distinct 
styles: messages, files, images, or music. It lets you preview MP3 files directly off a
Usenet server, view images in an elegant iPhoto-like thumbnail view, prioritize transfers 
with a flexible downloads manager, find favorites quickly with a categorized column-view 
interface, smartly group files into meta-groups (like songs into albums), show download 
status beautifully in the dock, and much more. Phew!

Use-a-what now?
Put simply, Usenet is the Internet's oldest message board. Containing tens of thousands of 
groups catering to every imaginable topic, everybody sees what everybody else posts. The Usenet 
network is unique: when a user posts a message on a Usenet server, that message is transferred 
from news server to news server, all around the world, until every Usenet server (hopefully) 
contains a copy of that message.
Thus, every Usenet server, while being independent, is theoretically a mirror of all the others!
Why should I check it out?

Originally, Usenet was the only way to group-communicate globally -- Usenet archives date 
back to 1981 (!). Even today, Usenet is still the place for awesome global conversation -- 
everything from good cheesecake recipes to politics to what's the best Mac FTP client. (Which 
shouldn't be much of a debate. Ahem.)

Lately, Usenet also hosts a large number of "binary groups". These groups contain files of 
every type -- movies, music, photos, etc. Unison will automatically piece these files together 
and make them easy to get! 

Of course, like the Internet itself, Usenet is a vast, unmonitored wilderness -- nobody can control 
the content posted to the servers, so caution is advised as you navigate. But, with a little 
curiosity and investigation, you may find Usenet to be a surprisingly rich new Internet 
resource -- one that's actually been there all along!
