    @AOC AOL never fails to be the dumbest brick in the room.

  • SergeyMak8 Sergey Mak (@SergeyMak8) reported

    AOL was the first subscription service. #earlystage Our parents spent $20-$30 a month to use the internet when no one needed to make a phone call.

  • andybudd Andy Budd (@andybudd) reported

    Facebook was essentially AOL 2.0. A walled garden of Web functionality where your less than Internet savvy relatives hang out.

  • TheGingerNerd Sam (@TheGingerNerd) reported

    @kbachelder @emtothea Is it bad I got weirdly excited about bringing back AOL chatrooms? Lol

  • IWMcLaren Isa likes candy more than scary. (@IWMcLaren) reported

    @eee_lye_wray I'm on IG a little, probably more as time goes on. Something similar to this name but can't recall now. I find discord harder to keep up with than all the aol chat rooms back in the day. I use it but damn my brain hates it.

  • YorkshireBorn Rachel Heseltine 🏳️‍⚧️ (@YorkshireBorn) reported

    @jpsherman Yeah, IIRC his big idea at AOL was to turn Netscape into a Digg clone, which was eventually rebranded as Propeller, which I ended up shutting down and 301'ing across the network :P

  • sound_hologram Journalism Denier Sensurround (@sound_hologram) reported

    @The_Petrichory Yes. Basically named after september, when new students would get on the internet and act a fool. When AOL gave access to Usenet Newsgroups, you had an "Eternal September" of new idiot students

  • RobertJMolnar Robert J Molnar 🇭🇺🇷🇸🇺🇲 (@RobertJMolnar) reported

    @BradMossEsq this is a total and utter fail the likes we have not seen in decades. Not even sure of a comparable. Maybe AOL and Yahoo?

  • autarchofTexas Greg Abbott in IRL (@autarchofTexas) reported

    @MrCoolCat92 @RonFilipkowski That's something you'll have to bring up with private corporations that have their own rules. I think it sucks that the internet is not the free for all it was years ago. I hate that it's turning into AOL. I am a capitalist and this is not my decision.

  • swishdascarecro $WISH (@swishdascarecro) reported

    Bruh never seen a man keep going afk irl still using aol dial up

  • ReallyActivist YS (@ReallyActivist) reported

    Tesla stock -44% since @elonmusk decided to throw $44 Billion down the tubes. Worst business deal since AOL Time Warner and it’s going to get worse.

  • warren__terra Warren Terra (@warren__terra) reported

    @AoDespair Yes exactly; at least as I recall it, AOL was using their overvaluation to buy Time Warner. The problems came afterward, when they tried to actually realize all their ridiculous claims about being a wonderful new fusion for a new era of media. Instead of just cashing in.

  • activeside /MM (@activeside) reported

    @andybudd There's a continuity in technology from web 1.0 and web 2.0 platforms. Facebook was a big jump from AOL but remains in the same line of technology. Metaverse, as envisioned by Meta, belongs to gaming, technologically, not web. That's why it might fail, just like Second Life.

  • JessBirken Jess Birken 🐌 (@JessBirken) reported

    @NickJRishwain That's dead on. Right up there with never work for a lawyer using a Gmail, Hotmail or (God forbid) AOL email address

    @SMilkdrama never once doubted luoyunxi’s acting prowess since AoL, man is killing it in everything he does

  • sher_cares Sherry #VoteLikeYourRightsDependOnItBecauseTheyDo (@sher_cares) reported

    @tech2eets Remember when AOL gave their service away for free and then started charging what happened to them? No other social media site charges to use their service because they rely upon ads!

  • MrAhMerryCa Victor A. George (@MrAhMerryCa) reported

    @elonmusk @HSajwanization Can @elonmusk make it $4.99 instead of $8.00? Those living in “**** hole countries” - Oops, not what I meant to say, are gonna have hard time with paying 8 bucks a month. AOL’s destiny changed after Subscription price hike! Did we learn from that yet?

  • chiggady Chiggs (@chiggady) reported

    @xylem44 @ExcellencyBlack @MONR0WE Definitely longer. Used to login to aol and go to a guest room to talk to my friends lol

    @FeralCherylZ I’m old enough to say AOL went though **** like this before they became irrelevant, too.

  • geekpondering Geekpondering 💙 💛 (@geekpondering) reported

    @AoDespair Some people are saying the Twitter acquisition is the SECOND worst acquisition in tech history after the AOL Time Warner merger.

  • SteveTownsend0 Steve Townsend (@SteveTownsend0) reported

    @koenigcochran This is the Time Warner/AOL of its generation, in lack of understanding of the platform and the problem

  • DJManolo13 MANOLO (@DJManolo13) reported

    @HSajwanization @elonmusk Elon Musk is doing that to avoid twitter shut down for good just like AOL internet company had its chat rooms and the entire company closed for good because of the bots and fake accounts

  • philippawarr Pip (@philippawarr) reported

    I left AOL/HuffPo just before every writer there got blue ticked. I wondered if not having one would affect me or if I should have hung on longer. In the many years since, not having a blue tick has never come up, and I’ve only ever seen it used as a Twitterati insult so.

  • sher_cares Sherry #VoteLikeYourRightsDependOnItBecauseTheyDo (@sher_cares) reported

    @lavern_spicer I never paid $8 for gas. And Twitter has always been free. Your advertisers is how you make money. Notice No other social media site is charging! AOL gave their service away for free and then tried to charge. AOL is in the social media graveyard with MySpace!

  • jmcrowell Oh, the Inanity (@jmcrowell) reported

    @Michaelrennick @harley3203 @Aviation_Intel He didn't really pony up $44B. He's on the hook for about 72% or $33.5B. Some $30B came from selling Tesla shares which leaves his stake in that company vulnerable because he does not have "founder" status. LBO debt service is $1B/year. It's closer to AOL-Time Warner in risk.
