Giganews has teamed up with Golden Frog to bring Diamond customers Mimo and Golden Frog Usenet Search. The Mimo Usenet browser is currently being offered free of charge to a select group of loyal Diamond customers as a technology preview meaning that Mimo is still in the development stage. The preview is meant for functionality testing and to gather user feedback.
We don’t know that much about Mimo or the related Usenet search engine yet but Giganews has a page available for those included in the Mimo preview and others who would like a future invite.
From previewing the Mimo page we can see that Golden Frog has packed some nice features into their Usenet client. They mention its optimized for faster downloads, browsing and searches. The client includes Giganews accelerator technology. It supports thumbnail images, includes search functionality and allows you to filter based on binaries, text and images. Auto unRAR and PAR features are also part of Mimo.
The Golden Frog Usenet search engine supports searching binaries across all groups. Since Giganews is offering the technology preview we assume it can handle their industry leading 700+ days of retention.
Were you invited to the Mimo technology preview? If so let us know what you think of the new Usenet browser. Better yet let Golden Frog know as I’m sure they’d appreciate the user feedback.
If you would like to receive a future invite to test Mimo then click the “Request an invite” link at the top of the Mimo preview page. It will direct you to login to your Diamond account via a special invite page. Doing so will automatically add you too the Mimo tech preview waiting list as shown below.
Read our Giganews review to learn more about their Usenet services or sign up for a Giganews Diamond account and request an invitation to test Mimo. Assuming they send out future invitations based on request date you might want to sign up soon!
