AOL Outage in Streatham, Greater London, England

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 🥴

@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.

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp Still not working 😠

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp I'm the same Julie. The app I'm using won't let me sign in

@TwitterSupport I can't update my new email address because it asking me for my password that's associated to an aol account that I no longer have. How can I fix this?

It wasn’t AOL it was some other ****

@SteveSchmidtSES I paid close attention to all birtherism and even wrote about it for AOL News at the time. There was next to no McCain birther thing. Clair McCaskill introduced S.Res.511 - A resolution recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.

@Dominic__Noble I laughed and then I felt bad because you're bearing your soul but it's funny but I can feel the pain from here. I'll commiserate with the girl who ditched me at the Manyunk Diner and then set her AOL IM away message to the '**** a duck' song.

@lrod811 The first time I lost my **** was Zelda AoL I threw the console across the room 🙄

@NevilleD35 @Yahoo As long as it’s not AOL you’re good. Yahoo has the strictest spam rules if any email service.

@NevilleD35 My AOL account got closed because I never used it, and it got hacked. They shut me down for spamming porn. Got it in '94, because it was the only email service at the time that could handle attachments - in my case, invoices and expense reports.

@Schmaniel @nancywyuen Just showing up unannounced is bad. In the early days of the internet, I was pretty open about personal details via AOL. A woman I used to chat with showed up at my place of work FROM OUT OF STATE. I don't hve my real name attach to any SocMed, and hedge on pers. details online

@DidierTory @AOL Yes I remember how awful it was don't worry. Just because you thought you knew what you were doing in 1997 doesn't mean you know what you're doing 23 years later. You can't even tweet properly. Quoting people won't improve your stats and spread your reach

@CryptoXing oh yeah, i would never compare $band to $link - don't worry. $link - outdated piece of junk destined to fail - think of it like the AOL broswer. $band - flexible, scalable, cheap - will take over the sector.
