  @joshbmessenger @Ace109610 WWE Network would always crash, buffer and many times the picture looked like it was video being played on a dialup server like AOL.

  Hey @AOL I was charged for a subscription that wasn't supposed to charge me until the free trial was over. Please help ASAP. I didn't get a free trial when it offered it just took the payment.

  @jayyeh @bot @openclaw Just like AOL and the Netscape browser were exciting to people who never used IRC. Looks like the potential kernels of what can lead to mass adoption.

  @TheDrugMoney This goes back to the limewire/AOL music server debate. Like cable vs Netflix. You just don't know what you want unless you see it in front of you. You may not need everything you lay your eyes on but you'll enjoy ******** out of it

  AOL and Time Warner didn’t just pay for what the two companies were worth in January 2000. They paid for what they believed the two companies could become together. The announced merger was valued at roughly $350B, with AOL shareholders expected to own about 55% of the combined company. The logic was easy to understand: combine AOL’s internet business with Time Warner’s media assets and create value neither could generate alone. But there was a financial problem hiding inside that logic. Future synergies are uncertain. The merger closed in January 2001. SEC disclosures later put the acquisition cost at approximately $147B. Then came the accounting reckoning. In 2002, the combined company reported a $98.7B net loss, including a $54.2B goodwill impairment. That $54.2B was non-cash. It did not mean the company suddenly paid out $54.2B in cash. It meant the value previously assigned to acquired goodwill could no longer be supported at the same level. That distinction matters. When you pay upfront for future synergies, you are effectively putting a price on value that still depends on execution. If the synergies arrive, the premium can make sense. If they don’t, shareholders can end up carrying the cost. The most expensive synergy is the one you pay for before you prove it exists.

  @akafaceUS It used to take days to cancel AOL. Now you just have to resist the temptation of Sirius radio for $5 a month. No, would you pay $3 a month?

  @DylanMcD8 I had one and it was the hottest thing my junior year. My school had just gotten WiFi and they hadn’t blocked aol instant messenger. I’d still have it if some dude hadn’t broken in my house :(
