News2me is a webonly interface to usenet. The system is quite easy to use and their chaseit feature for multipart/split binaries is great. After finding the group you want to view you are given a page with the results, posts are typically out of order as they usually are on Usenet and clicking the chasteit link brings you to a page with all files with that particular name making downloading one set of binaries very easy.
Retention is currently 28 days for all types of binaries. Posting is not available at the current time, there are plans to impliment posting but no ETA yet.
The service is mainly geared towards binaries, however you will find some text groups that have binary attachments posted to them. This service is unlike other webonly binary servers as they offer all binary groups, not just adult groups. When searching for a group, even with an exact name you are presented with other gorups that also match your query. This can be useful for finding groups you have never heard about.
A very interesting service to say the least.
The control panel allows you to configure your account and how items are displayed to make it easier for you to browse the site.
