Development of B News was passed on to Rick Adams in 1983 and continued until 1989.
Beyond B News, Rick Adams was an extremely influential figure for Usenet and the Internet at large.
Adams recognized that the growing amount of Usenet traffic was leading to tremendous costs for site operators.
With a loan from USENIX, Adams founded UUNET as a nonprofit ISP and primarily provided Usenet feeds, email exchange, and a large repository of Unix software and documentation.
Phil Lapsley, Erik Fair, and Brian Kantor created the NNTP protocol to bring these cutting-edge networking concepts to Usenet.
NNTP's development led to newsreader clients that could be installed on a user's personal computer and retrieve only the articles they wanted.
Compared to other technologies, computers have evolved (and are still evolving) at a whirlwind pace.
Consequently, the history of computing has been muddied by innovations that quickly become obsolete, concurrent developments that solve the same issues, and developers discarding documentation of simple projects that became extremely successful.
It was the first attempt to create a network beyond local BBS communities (which themselves were fairly new).At a time when the 'internet' was a network of privately operated ARPANET sites, Usenet offered a network for the general public.We at Giganews have recently had the opportunity to discuss the creation and evolution of Usenet with the people who developed, maintained, and made significant contributions to the Usenet culture.Usenet began as a personal project for two Duke University graduate students, Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis.
They wished to replace a local BBS-style announcement system that was made obsolete with a recent hardware upgrade.Usenet's original distribution protocol, UUCP, depended on direct computer-to-computer links using standard telephone lines.
