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.

Yes, 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.

Google still had a broadly positive reputation among technical people in 2011, let alone 2001.
