AOL Outage in Shepperton, Surrey, England

@Miss_Snuffy Self pity finds many friends online from the earliest days of community forums up to today's toxic social media. "Share your support" we used to say at AOL and people did and lots was valuable, but a deep streak of 'alternative truth' bedded down there too to solicit attention.

AOL would never go down. Is AOL still a thing?

@liampowersjr @NorthmanTrader @Tesla Fully agree by the way, Tesla is strange, but I think some of this isn't just cars but their battery technology....never understood it myself. Never understood AOL time Warner, even wrote a paper on it for my MBA and got the lowest mark out of all my papers.

@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.

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.

I still have an AOL email address so never question my loyalty

@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

@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.

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp Still not working 😠

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

@AOLSupportHelp I’m trying to get into my email password help

Equally unusual is the way the NSA extracts what it wants, according to the document: “Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. Service Providers: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.”

@vmlemon Eventually they're counting on you to forget to cancel before you're charged... this is how AOL used to do it.

@Lucas_Shaw @TaylorLorenz Discovery doesn’t understand Hollywood biz culture. AOL had the same problem. WB/HBO spends money to make it right. Creatives like that. Discovery is where you go to make disposable tv on the cheap. This merger will end same as AOL did

Zaslav is the worst thing to happen to Warner Bros. and DC since AOL. (And possibly related to my former boss, who left.)

So, @AOL, why do you promote @SenatorRounds' lies about the Inflation Reduction Act? It will be the best and only law to help Americans since the GQP Tax Scam in 2017. Why is @AOL promoting the lies?

@AOLSupportHelp need help had problems accessing my email accounts, you helped me sort it but now when I go to reset the accounts it keeps coming up with an error message saying there is a mismatch

@EvilleOtters Have you tried calling the 800 number on the AOL discs for internet help!!

@0x5066 I mean I wouldn't put it past Verizon to figure out some alternative usage for it; they did literally buy AOL just because they didn't have a good email system. But Napster had the same fate; resurrected as music sub service; merged with Rhapsody. I miss Rhapsody.

TIL that AOL still has about 2.2 million people using their dialup service. Wild there's still people on dialup in 2022.
