Apparently, there are still people willing to pay good money to search Usenet. GUBA, which charges $14.95 per month for such searches, is now allowing users to subscribe via RSS to searches that match their keywords. There should be a way to do that with the search of Google Groups, the web front-end to Usenet. GUBA offers this nifty feature, though: "When new videos are posted that match, users are notified via RSS, and can then download the video directly into iTunes."

Hate ‘em all you want. Character blogs are proliferating.
