AOL Outage in Willesden, Greater London, England

@sigmasports I’m doing my best guys, bear with me. I’m doing an online chat with AOL online support and have Ask Jeeves fired up in another browser.

When it first arrived — and I made a blog there within the first two months of its public existence — @tumblr was the near perfect blogging platform. Then AOL destroyed it. Now it’s a horrible jail where I can’t get rid of this dumb screen. Thanks @automatic.

The first PlayStation came out, and Macs transitioned to Power PC. AOL is launched. Amazon was founded. Microsoft announces it will no longer sell or support the MS-DOS operating system separately from Microsoft Windows

@KwakuMMNT 112 by default. Jagged Edge were broadcasting to us using 2001 AOL dial up. Horrible signal.

Although I have re-installed @AOLSupportHelp on iPhone I am still receiving “wrong password” messages. Puzzling that all’s well on iPad & laptop! Help!!!

@aolmail @AOL @AOLSupportHelp having rectified the continual WRONG PASSWORD notice, today it’s back again but only on my iPhone 7+, not on my iPad which is working perfectly. HELP!

@AOLSupportHelp Hi Guys, password prompt now so frequent; every time I open my AOL email account. Please ask your engineers to fix quickly. Thanks so much.

Weird today on @AOL receiving all emails on iPhone but iPad still saying “wrong password”. Password same on both devices! Help!!!

Still having intermittent trouble sending/receiving emails on my @AOL account. Updated password on AOL via Safari; it works. Does not work through my normal email channel either sending or receiving. Systems don’t seem to share info - help!

@AOLSupportHelp Did send it but still having same problem!

@yungcontent And Bebo never sells to AOL

Recurring @AOL password problem; keeps telling me “incorrect password” again; had same problem a month ago. When I input password it is accepted for a short while then same message appears again; infuriating! HELP!!!

@NW6Rd You've just reminded me my contract is up with my absolutely appalling @SkyUK broadband. It's so slow it's like AOL dial-up

@AOL after weeks of “wrong password” still having major problems with AOL! Seems email & via Safari not joined up. Worrying as I’m in middle of negotiations! Help!

I’ve been with AOL all my internet life. Just recently it keeps telling me my password is wrong; I put the same password in again & it’s alright for a while. Today emails appear then suddenly vanish, is @AOL trying to dismiss me. Help!

AGREED! Every kid except me had nice shiny internet...we were stuck with that shitty AOL dialup that we were only allowed to use to play Cartoon Network games on if we were good 🥴

@reece_dinsdale The other two are "Welcome to AOL: you're connected!" and "Goodbye...th-that's it." Damn I need to put these on my new laptop!

@neilperkin You'd think they could find a fix. This used to happen with all AOL accounts showing up as 'Virginia' 20 years ago!

CompuServe when I first got online in 1995, MSN Messenger, the very occasional foray into Usenet. Tried AOL, ICQ, a few others. But never enjoyed them. Had both AIM and Yahoo Meseenger But only very rarely used them.

@teleject @meyerweb It kinda does though... With MSN Explorer (yes that was a thing in 2001, competing with AOL) we enabled "toast notifications" and the name was because "the little thing popped like the toast on the screensavers." Real toast never does that. It sits there. It sometimes Burns.

@aolmail all my aol mail just disappeared. Can you help me to get it back??

LTE network been acting like AOL dial up all year

@INArteCarloDoss It’d be poetic if the top was marked by Tesla buying a real car company. An AOL-TimeWarner of sorts. Ofc I don’t think any auto company is going to be stupid enough to do it but who knows

@mcpeasy Ok I just put it on, not that I needed confirmation on them being AOL, but holy **** actually how do you think this is good? How do you defend this?! It’s SO BAD MATT. Omg. Listening to (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? from start to finish now to recover from that @liamgallagher

@JasonSmith014 Blockbuster rental, tower records, beeper, busy signal calling friends, dialup, AOL mail

@zachsayshey @ankushsingh1 @elonmusk This is so wrong. There are several major projects in defi that solve very expensive problems and create smart contracts for loans, liquidity, exchange etc etc etc.... they have value because people use them to solve problems. ETH is one. Coin just for the sake of coin = AOL

@w24holden Don't blame you.... We must have the worst record for goals for shots.... We are Dreadful... Do they have goals at the AOL..

@Razio14814294 Twitter is slow today. Like AOL dialup

@gbildson @pkedrosky this was also before the pay per click search model. Netscape charged search engines $200k/yr to appear in the drop down search. Netscape did end up selling to AOL for $4 billion.

@nullrend Lessons get bought expensive or public or sometimes both. Most of my horrible mistakes happened in person or inside myself. Most, but not all. Luckily aol sailed that mess into the past.
