Newsgroups have both advantages and disadvantages. While using newsgroups if you get a lot of people on your topic having a discussion you can get information quickly and get a variety of views on an endless amount of topics.
However there are limitations to newsgroup, for example if you don’t get anyone talking on a topic then there is no discussion, this therefore renders newsgroups useless. Also for some groups you have to have an account to put your views across and sometimes people don’t want to sign up to a website, so this limits the people who will post on the group.
Newsgroup fulfil their purpose to some extent, there are some major set backs like not having any people on your group or limited people sign up, however if you start to get authors and responses on your group then it can be very useful to collect a variety of views and to also express your view.
