   Usnet is a service, a 2-way messaging network! Defintely not an "app" as   
   we understand today!! Newsreaders, like Thunderbird, are surely "app"s.   
      
   Read the quoted paragraph again:   
      
   "Usenet, conceived by .... University, was the first open social media   
   app, established in 1980."
