In 2001? "Googlified"??? Do you even realize this was Google's first acquisition? Either you're making things up, or you are rewriting history as GP said.

- astrostl 4y agoYes, Googlified - it was not resurrected and operated separately as-was, but immediately stuffed into Google Groups. I and many others considered Google Groups to be vastly worse than Deja News. I even found this subthread because my first instinct was to CMD-F and search for 'deja' when I saw a Groups-related discussion was happening.
