  I remember when I was young and my mother would take me to the mall. I would bring a small notepad and pencil, then sit in Walden Books and write down things I had to do where I was stuck when I couldn't afford the guide. And as far as Gamefaqs is concerned, I don't think I knew that existed till like 1998 or 1999. It's not like we had social media to talk about different websites, I had to search using AOL keywords.

  Harvest raised prices up to 1000%, and most users still can't calculate their bill until it lands. The problem isn't the price. It's that they never explain it upfront. Here I will be telling you about the new pricing model. so you can do the math before renewal does it for you. Why this happened to you? Bending Spoons ; the company behind Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Eventbrite, and AOL — bought Harvest in July 2025. Look at their track record and you'll see the same move every time: acquire, raise prices, shrink the free tier. You just watched it happen again. If you signed up before Nov 7, 2024, you were on the old flat-rate plan. Since then, you've been getting quietly migrated to the new model and it usually shows up hardest right at your renewal. What you used to pay- Simple, flat, per seat: - Pro: $11/seat/mo (annual) - Premium: $14/seat/mo (annual) No usage fees. No surprises. What you are paying now- You're on one of four tiers : Free Teams Enterprise Enterprise Plus If you're on Teams or Enterprise, you're billed one of two ways: Flex: your seat rate, plus usage fees based on what you did last period Unlimited: your seat rate, plus one fixed surcharge no matter what you did Base seat prices: Teams from $9/seat, Enterprise from $14/seat. Want profitability reports, approvals, or SSO? That's Enterprise only. Now the part nobody sees coming: Harvest doesn't publish a rate card. Based on real accounts, here's roughly how it works on Flex billing: - Projects: free up to 4 then $15 (5–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Tasks: free up to 3 then $15 (4–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Clients: free up to 3 then $15 (4–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Invoices created: free up to 4 then $15 (5–10) climbing to $650 (51+) - Amount invoiced: free up to $3K then $15 ($3K–$20K) climbing to $650 ($200K+) On an annual plan, you get roughly 12 projects, 7 tasks, 7 clients, 50 invoices, and $50K invoiced before any of this kicks in. Cross a line, and that category starts billing you on its own, separate from everything else. One UK consultancy owner told the BBC the increase felt like "Daylight robbery" — and it's easy to see why once you see the mechanics above. Now, the small things that makes it even worse - Your trial starts on the pricier tier. You have to switch it yourself - Your first invoice looks normal. The real number shows up on your second one - Archiving someone doesn't stop the billing. You have to delete their seat - A two week freelancer still costs you a full seat - Stripe takes a cut of your invoices, then Harvest takes another - Scheduling is a separate paid add on There's no AI help. You're tracking and reporting everything by hand I talked to a founder this week who used to swear by Harvest; forecasting, budgeting, invoicing, no complaints. Then her renewal hit. She didn't get a choice. She's calling herself a "Harvest Refugee" now. So are a lot of people who loved the product but can't justify the new math anymore. If that's where you're at, the name that keeps coming up is OneSuite flat $9/seat/month, no usage fees, nothing quietly stacking on top of your bill. And it's not a stripped down copy either. It's apple to apple with Harvest, feature for feature: - Timesheets and Expense tracking with approvals - Billable rates and cost rates - Project budgeting - Time and material, fixed fee, and non billable project types - Invoicing, synced with QuickBooks Same workflow you're used to. And few more stuff extra such as - CRM, Contract and Project Management  Just none of the surprise billing. Before you panic or jump ship: go to Settings → Billing, find your renewal date, and add up your own projects, clients, tasks, and invoices against the free limits above. Know your number before Harvest tells you. best, Syed Rezwanul Haque (Reza)

  @LibertyPDX1 Data Centers have been around for a long time... The commercial internet & World Wide Web created demand for always-on servers & interconnection. Early internet exchange points such as MAE-East in Northern Virginia (Metropolitan Area Exchange–East), established in 1992, was the first non-governmental Internet Exchange Point (IXP) in the United States. It served as a physical meeting point where early commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) could interconnect & exchange traffic directly rather than routing everything through distant or government-controlled networks. This peering model reduced costs & latency & became a foundational piece of the commercial Internet. America Online’s presence in the region, plus cheap land near Dulles Airport, available fiber & proximity to Washington, D.C. & DARPA (which had funded ARPANET), made Loudoun County/Ashburn attractive. Equinix, founded in 1998, built one of the region’s first dedicated commercial data centers to serve AOL & others, pioneering the colocation model. Companies rented space, power, cooling & connectivity instead of building their own facilities. Similar “carrier hotels” & interconnection hubs emerged in cities such as New York & Los Angeles. The late-1990s dot-com boom accelerated construction of larger purpose-built facilities. The subsequent bust left unused space that later operators filled.

  @LitterboxComics I was a new dad trying to research way to help my wife. Been trolling the depths of the internet for fun since AOL was a thing. I was not prepared for the deprivation and inhumanity I found in online parenting forums.

  @boostmobile Boost Mobile reminds me so much of the 1990's AOL. Their customer service makes it one of the worst MVNO carriers today! Their creative accounting is so hard for their reps to understand, so how is a customer going to?

  @nmlinguaphile mapquest! The Hammacher Schlemmer of online maps and connectivity! Are they still accepting 1,000 hours free dial up cdrom from AOL? If I were in corporate meeting: Should we do this? Me: Nobody gives a ****. Do what you want. Let's ignore them so they can die in peace.

  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.

  @KayakZztee5 @tombelaviv_ At least he has a gallbladder and a mother. One who didn't die ashamed. One who didn't have repressed anger towards her son for being a useful idiot of the feds just like Jason Kessler and mentally ill disabled former employee of Oddcast and AOL. Sven is his new mommy. Evil mommy

  @Google requiring you to scan a QR code on your own phone to login is probably the least helpful technology in existence. Yes, it gives you “other options” though those rarely work without you doing it 5-6 times. They need to fix that or YMail or AOL is beginning to sound better.
