Trying to track down the contact information for friends or family? These tips and sites can help!
There are many ways to track down people on the Web. For instance, many of the largest directories are international in scope and cover hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
At the same time, if you know something about the person you are looking for, such as their interests, professional affiliations or education history, you may be able to track them down through one of the many smaller, specialist directories. These directories generally focus on a single subject, such as alumni of a specific school, for example."

- What Is Usenet?
- 'Usenet is a world-wide distributed discussion system. It consists of a
set of "newsgroups" with names that are classified hierarchically by
subject. "Articles" or "messages" are "posted" to these newsgroups by
people on computers with the appropriate software -- these articles are
then broadcast to other interconnected computer systems via a wide
variety of networks. Some newsgroups are "moderated"; in these
newsgroups, the articles are first sent to a moderator for approval
before appearing in the newsgroup. Usenet is available on a wide variety
of computer systems and networks, but the bulk of modern Usenet traffic
is transported over either the Internet or UUCP.'
