AOL Outage in Edmonton, Greater London, England

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.

@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.

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp Still not working 😠

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

@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.

I was told by a rep ref. AOL: "it's a very old platform.." as if that was an excuse. If it doesn't work, they shouldn't take my money. @TalkTalk is a useless outfit too. I was called for months by fake Indian call centres after their data hack. My home internet sucks. @AOL @Ofcom

Utterly useless service from AOL/Yahoo/TalkTalk yet again following my complaint reference the breakdown/failure of their systems. So irritating when you pay for a service and don't get it. I was told by a rep ref. AOL: "it's a very old platform.." as if that was an excuse. @AOL

Some of you never had a 1 hour per day parental control limit on your AOL account and it shows

@aolmailhelp hello, my mum needs to delete her AOL email. We can't sign in in order to delete it, please help - thank you.

My direct debit to @TalkTalkTV I think will have the same broadband width they expect me to pay for . ZERO. WORST SERVICE EVER ITS LIKE AOL DIAL UP.

@alice Nah but I reckon a shit tonne of people still do In America AOL still make over half a billion from dial up subscribers* * This may not be true

AOL was the shit

@AOLSupportHelp hello. All my old emails have disappeared. Is there a problem with your servers?

@AOL Some idiot has incorrectly put down my email address as their recovery email address. How can I prevent you from repeatedly emailing me about verification codes?

@aolmail Hi, my AOL email isn’t working, it’s a first for me, is there anyone to help with this?

In Dec 09 I came out to a club gymnastics teammate over AOL instant messenger, and then to a few close friends and mentors at school. They connected me to Servicemembers Legal Defense Network & current/former LGB servicemembers 6/

millsberry, piczo, imvu, that barbie website where you had to buy the mp3 player, neopets, aol games, postopia, miniclip, stardoll, disney channel, cartoon network

@ATTimpact @ATT Too bad you refuse to lead the way for decent internet speed in rural areas. AOL moves faster than you.....

@BillyBambrough @DavidJN79 @Forbes Many of us view Libra as a mezzanine/bridge solution to meet people where they are in their journey's toward stateless electronically-native hard money (Bitcoin). Just like AOL, the LaserDisk & Netlifx's envelopes. This thing is too big to swallow in one sitting, so... Libra.

despite being 20, our family was hella poor and didn't have internet til about 2005. and even then, we had AOL. so it was Neopets (2006-9), Spore (2008-10), and classic videogame emulators (2006-now) my first social media was Tumblr, which i discovered in the summer of 2014.

AOL chatrooms duh! And on aim messaging friends. Live journal. And honestly reading a lot of shit lol

@MishGEA Any company can create their own internet. TCP/IP and HTML are easy to copy. The Internet didn't even have first mover advantage and it crushed private walled services like Prodigy, AOL, and CompuServe. Network Affect is the piece you are missing in your valuation

@McSuto @XavierWoodsPhD @thechrisdenker AIM = AOL Instant Messenger, it was and old and crap messaging service on the PC much like MSN messenger where you could add friends and chat to them, though MSN messenger was much better.

Off the top of my head; I spent most of it on 4chan, IRC, Deadjournal/Livejournal, Something Awful, Habbo, Neopets, AIM, AOL Chatrooms, Counter-Strike, Doom, Dukematch (Duke Nukem 3D), Myspace, Newgrounds, Ebaum's World, Zthing, Big-Boys (Break), Geocities, etc.
