Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Web-based discussion group combines features of mailing lists and newsgroups. Mailing lists allow subscribers to receive and send emails to a group of people with similar interests, while newsgroups are discussion forums where users can post messages and discuss topics of interest. Web-based discussion groups combine both of these features in a web interface, allowing for easier access and organization of discussions. Chat rooms and channels are real-time communication tools, while instant messages and newsletters are not necessarily designed for group discussions. Search engines and subject directories are tools for finding information, not for online discussion.
