  @1womanworkforce If he’s working from the aol ap I would delete it and reload. We had a problem with aol a while ago. The old Ap wasn’t working. Change the password just in case on your web version.

  @sky_waller I scored one. I never knowingly had an AOL account. Don't you feel sorry for today's kids.

  @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.

  @AOL It is a terrible lyric to put on a school book. If she didn't do it or approve it the woman is innocent until proven guilty. Perhaps the investigation should be on how it got there and who put it there in her name. I hope her lawyer is worth his salt.

  @Rorothats70s @D4Pats12 @uscfan981 Austin wasn't the reason why WCW ended It was Money Laundering AOL Time Warner execs who charged WCW 10 times the standard on production costs on everything with affiliated & linked companies They didn't want wrestling on their network. It was a choice If TNA can be around for this long & lose more money than any other promotion in history, then you can clearly see that's a choice also.

  I think David Zaslav will go down in media history, with Steve Case, as the two greatest salesmen to ever rip off clueless suitors. Case convinced Time Warner/Gerald Levin that AOL was far more valuable than it was, and Zaslav sold Warner Brothers Discovery for a ruinous price.

  @POTFES This is not accurate. The DMA, DSA, AI Act, and similar frameworks are not examples of member states forcing Brussels to overregulate. They are EU level regulatory projects, proposed, negotiated, adopted, and enforced through the EU institutional system. Member states are part of that machine, but pretending the problem is only national fragmentation conveniently ignores what Brussels itself is doing. And yes, a deeper internal market would be useful. Easier company formation, better access to capital, lower compliance costs, cheaper energy, and less fragmentation would help. But that is not the same as giving the Commission more power to micromanage technology. If American tech dominates, Europe should compete by building better products on honest market terms, not by regulating superior foreign companies and hoping European champions appear afterward. Markets are not static. IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Nokia, BlackBerry, Yahoo, AOL, MySpace, and many others once looked dominant in their own domains. They were challenged, displaced, or diminished because better technologies, better products, and better business models emerged. That is how real competition works. Innovation comes from builders, capital, talent, risk, and consumer choice. It does not come from Brussels officials deciding how platforms should be designed.

  23. **Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (2008)** — Lost over $18.5 billion nominally, equivalent to over **$20.0 billion** today due to global credit declines and equity write-downs. 24. **Alcatel (2001)** — Suffered massive merger-related write-downs and market destruction during the telecom equipment collapse, crossing the **$20.0 billion** inflation-adjusted threshold. 25. **Swiss Re (2008)** — Incurred tens of billions in asset impairments and structured credit losses during the financial crisis, placing its real-loss event at the **$20.0 billion** inflation-adjusted mark. The Three Eras of Corporate Destruction What stands out is how concentrated these losses are. The Dot-Com and Telecom Collapse (2000–2002) The telecom bubble produced the single greatest concentration of corporate losses ever observed. AOL Time Warner, JDS Uniphase, Qwest, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Vivendi, Alcatel, and NTT all appear on the list. Trillions of dollars in market value evaporated as companies wrote down acquisitions, fiber networks, wireless licenses, and internet-related assets purchased at bubble-era valuations. The Global Financial Crisis (2008–2009) AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Citigroup, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, Credit Suisse, Swiss Re, and Mitsubishi UFJ all suffered enormous losses as mortgage securities, derivatives, and structured credit markets collapsed. Unlike many dot-com write-downs, these losses reflected real capital destruction that threatened the stability of the global financial system. Industry-Specific Collapses General Motors appears three separate times on the list, highlighting decades of structural challenges within the auto industry. United Airlines reflects the severe financial strain associated with bankruptcy and restructuring. Nakheel demonstrates how quickly even seemingly unstoppable real-estate booms can reverse. The Half-Trillion-Dollar Club The four largest losses alone account for nearly $470 billion in inflation-adjusted value destruction: * **AOL Time Warner (2002):** ~$143 billion * **AIG (2008):** ~$128 billion * **JDS Uniphase (2001):** ~$104 billion * **Fannie Mae (2009):** ~$94 billion Combined, these four annual losses destroyed more value than the current market capitalization of many of the world's largest public companies. The lesson from this ranking is simple: the biggest corporate losses rarely occur because a company has a bad quarter or even a bad year. They happen when an entire narrative breaks—whether it is internet mania, telecom euphoria, housing prices that supposedly never fall, or financial engineering that appears risk-free until suddenly it isn't.

  @AzzaliahC @ICQ Xfire and Skype both opened in 2003, June 2015 and May 2025 accordingly shut down. Where were you then? Or even Google Chat (2005- June 2017). If you cared about actual quality, you would have used AIM since at least 2010 (AOL literally bought ICQ in 1998, same owner!) or use IRC
