  @remarks I hope they get rid of all the crap and the tattoo FREAKS. I just visited @Myspace and it's a mess. I want a blank page that I can build myself and I hope I don't NEED to know code to do it, but that the coding and copy and pasting is still there. It was a great space and Tom was the best friend. Never cared what I posted, never censored me, never suspended my account or made me play pictionary to get in. I could just log in, find friends, talk to them, have a blog, and say whatever I want without getting dinged for it. It even served as my America Online Profile when AOL went to that Bebo crap or whatever that nonsense was. Hope My Space will be free too. No data broker nonsense.

  @hthieblot It was a masterpiece. AOL, spawn of hell, bought out Netscape in 1998 & deliberately destroyed it trying to force people back to hell. Worst decision in internet history.

  @hthieblot AOL/AIM. Windows 95 ****. 1995 and 2010 are not the name internet

  @KieranWrites $$$ and the fact YouTube still gets more content uploaded in 10 mins than you can watch in a year means it's pretty much impossible to compete. The real issue is DMCA is from 1999. Internet has changed from the AOL free Internet disc days.

  Airtable just got acquired by Bending Spoons for $1.2B+. The company raised $1.4B in funding and was valued at $11.7B in 2021. It has $480M in ARR growing 20 percent and filed for an IPO five months ago. None of that mattered and $2.25B equity value barely clears the preference stack. Early employees and common shareholders split what is left after investors get their liquidation preferences back. Bending Spoons collects SaaS companies the way private equity collects distressed assets. AOL, Evernote, Eventbrite, Vimeo, WeTransfer, now Airtable. They listed on Nasdaq three weeks ago and this is already their first post-IPO acquisition. Airtable is not a bad company. $480M ARR and 80 percent of the Fortune 100 as customers is a good business. The lesson is that raising $1.4B at an $11.7B valuation in 2021 set a bar that no amount of revenue growth could clear. The preference stack becomes the ceiling. Basically it's another corpse of bloated valuations of that period of time. What Airtable would look like if it had raised $50M instead of $1.4B? Same product, market and ARR trajectory. At $480M ARR a $1.285B exit would have been a massive win for everyone involved. The money that was supposed to be rocket fuel became the weight that dragged it down. Also worth noting: Bending Spoons is an Italian company buying American tech at a discount. The narrative that European tech cannot compete is aging badly. It is just competing differently, not by building hype but by buying the hangover.

  @y_molodtsov @TrungTPhan AOL was a NY based company. For 15 years, owned by Verizon and Yahoo. I don't buy that it's suddenly more cool to work on now. It's still an incredibly poorly designed home page and a predatory subscription service with old people buying crap they don't need.

  Speaking of suing and losing, did you know that John Cardildo once sued AOL (yes, that AOL - remember he's a Boomer)? It must have been strange for him to be on the Plaintiff's side of the court. Anyhow, not only did he lose his lawsuit (he's never won in court period), but AOL countersued him and got a judgement for $90,547.95 against him. Hey Johnny Boy, did you ever pay your debts?
