  @Chimurusan I used AOL free floppies once or twice, but all their call endpoints were long distance, so no, never had an AOL address. "Dictionary" should presumably be "paper dictionary", since I use a dictionary at least several times a month currently, it is just online.

  @AshleyInMKE I was born in the 70s and never had an AOL account because my first email was from my college and when I got out Hotmail and Yahoo were the bigger players. And while I've slept in waterbeds a few times, I always hated them and got terrible sleep.

  There's a line in The Lean Startup that stung when I read it last week: "learning" is the oldest excuse in the book for a failure of execution. Eric Ries tells the story of IMVU's first product. His team spent six months building an instant-messaging add-on, based on a genuinely smart-sounding strategy: piggyback on existing IM networks (AOL, Yahoo!, MSN), ride their network effects, spread virally through people's existing friend lists. Whiteboard-brilliant. They launched. Nobody used it. When they finally sat real customers down in front of the product, every assumption fell apart. Customers weren't scared of learning new software - the average teenager ran eight IM clients at once. They didn't want to chat with existing friends through avatars - they wanted to meet strangers. The "obvious" barrier the whole strategy was built around wasn't a barrier at all. Ries's point isn't "test more." It's sharper than that: in a startup, any effort that doesn't produce evidence about what customers actually want is waste - no matter how well it's executed. He calls the real version of this validated learning, to separate it from the after-the-fact story you tell yourself when something doesn't work. I'm sitting in a smaller version of that exact test right now with Owoye. One of the assumptions baked into the product is that WhatsApp and IG sellers want their invoices auto-matched to incoming payments. It sounds obviously useful from where I sit. But that's precisely the position IMVU's team was in - certain, and wrong, about what would remove friction for their customer. So this week will not be spent refining the feature. It will be spent in conversations with actual sellers, watching how they track who's paid right now - screenshots, memory, WhatsApp scrollback - before deciding whether "auto-match" solves their problem or just mine. The uncomfortable question worth asking about your own product this week: is the thing you're building solving a problem your customer has, or a problem you have with how your customer works?

  @bumbadum14 I know people who have tumbled down this same rabbit hole. Being isolated in a cabin in Maine with nobody to tell you you're ******* nuts. He's basically a 2005 era boomer sending FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD: AOL emails of a giant shark eating a scuba diver hanging from a helicopter. Like when he states he knows "FOR. A. FACT." that American missiles were sold by Ukraine to Mexican cartels - and the "FACT" is just some random picture of a spent AT4.

  2/3 PortSwigger's Gareth Heyes showed it at Black Hat. One Outlook chain spoofs a Microsoft sign in and grabs the typed password. A Yahoo/AOL paste race leaks a login token. A Gmail chain exfiltrates a Slack token after prompt injection. #InfoSec #Privacy #CyberAttack
