AOL Outage in Kelvedon, Essex, England

@theretrobyte I think I would still have been with Dungeon/FlexNet back then. Never used any of the likes of AOL, Freeserve, etc.

@anildash I can remember Microsoft trying to launch their own network to compete with the internet or so it seemed, I joined got an account then had to wait about an hour, via dialup, to cancel it, back to AOL it was for me.

@AOLSupportHelp I have an AOL app on my iPad with a load of no longer valid contact addresses. When I delete them via the on line site they do not disappear from my iPad contacts. There is no tick box on the iPad contacts to facilitate deleting them direct! Help!!

@TalkTalk , @Yahoo and @AOL seem to have the greatest difficulty maintaining a normal service. I pay for a service which I am not getting. I am cut off from my email at the moment. Previously, I have been plagued by Indian sub continent scammers because of a data breach. #NotGood

One of my worst takes of the last decade was that Facebook would end up being (and dying like) AOL as it tried to clone everything and keep people in the garden What I got wrong was I thought users would grow up (and out) of that garden I missed the network lock-in

@gucksuck People put those warnings there for a reason lmao I was catfishing p**ophiles on aol 7.0 as a 12 yo I know how this **** happens and this ain’t it

@RealWillyBot What a scam man. Ugh... this whole crypto is the worst of humanity. Internet was good back in the AOL days.

This is why I have caught candy crush with the mic on, even though I never gave it permissiins. That's why my calls have been intercepted- and no amount of times changed did my verizon pin get fixed. Or why network was lost. But, figure how many devices have yahoo or aol etc.

@aolmail currently trying to reactivate my Fathers email that you've deactivated with no reason or explanation. Support team have responded & want to speak to him - I have sent his phone number - now what? Please, please help. His email is vital and contains precious memories.

@PeterSchiff @CNBC Let's take that as a valid metaphor - Bitcoin is more like the Internet, which continued to grow, oblivious to AOL or TW. The Internet didn't give a **** about AOL; Bitcoin doesn't give a **** about Coinbase. You are not getting it, Peter... ngmi

@SantiagoAuFund It’s 2000 all over again... Blockchain, EV will thrive but the prices are just completely nuts... it will happen like Amazon stock for some from $6 to $136 and then back to $6 again and for others like AOL the bubble will just explode and never recover...

TIL wtf splittercore is. I may just be an old man but I don't find it impressive to just add beats to my old AOL dial up connection being established.

@muh_thoughts @CawthornforNC And don’t you remember DS AOL crying about the poor children at the fence with a parking lot on the other side. Why doesn’t take about 100 of those kids now. It’s there mess.

@cryptonym @UWmixradio @souljaboy All metaphors fail in some way. Here's another one: Bitcoin is tcp/ip, not AOL. We are used to things especially in tech slowly being made obsolete by newer, better stuff. You don't want that with money for a lot of reasons.
