  @PunishDem1776 I’ll never forget that day. I had my first computer and I was watching the news. They said he had a profile on AOL. So, I quickly looked him up and saved the shilling text of his profile. Profile was gone the following day.

  @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.

  @_TheLaundryMat This whole argument seems silly to me. I have personally used AI to complete projects in a month that probably would have taken me several years without it. The productivity gains from AI, even in its current form, are already enormous. Could there be a bubble in some AI stocks or company valuations? Absolutely. But that does not mean AI itself is a bubble. Think about AOL. Everyone remembers America Online. AOL is largely irrelevant today, but the internet certainly did not disappear with it. You are probably reading this on a computer or phone connected to the internet at speeds that make the old 56k modem look prehistoric. That is the distinction people are missing. During the internet boom, many companies were wildly overvalued and eventually disappeared. But the underlying technology was real, transformative, and ultimately became far bigger than people imagined. AI will likely follow a similar path. There will be winners and losers. Some companies will fail, and some investments will prove ridiculously overpriced. But AI itself is not going away, and neither is the massive computing and data-center infrastructure required to support it. The bubble, if there is one, is in certain valuations—not in the technology or the demand for it.

  @Dan_Jeffries1 Gates never said this. In the 1990s, Microsoft focused on proprietary online networks (MSN) rather than the 'internet'. Think AOL. The 'internet' was a side product you got by connecting to their proprietary service. Downplaying to be the source of connection = marketing 😐

  @RWMaloneMD #HistoryMatters - seeing your uninformed Virgina rant on #DateCenters thought I might give you something to reflect upon: AOL started in Northern Virginia. It began in 1985 in Vienna as Quantum Computer Services, became America Online, and in 1996 moved its headquarters to Dulles/Ashburn in Loudoun County. Around the same time, UUNet/WorldCom was nearby. Those companies pulled in fiber and built early server facilities. Even more important was MAE-East (Metropolitan Area Exchange–East), one of the first big internet exchange points. It started in Fairfax County / Tysons around 1992 and later moved to Loudoun to sit closer to AOL and the other networks. At one point a huge share of U.S. internet traffic passed through it. Once networks had to meet there to exchange traffic, everyone else followed. Equinix built early Ashburn facilities for that reason. After the dot-com bust, AOL faded, but it left behind unused “dark fiber,” empty buildings, and a dense interconnection hub. Local officials later marketed that leftover infrastructure to data-center developers. AOL’s old campus itself has been torn down or converted into more data centers. Why it kept growing after AOL The cluster stuck because of a pile-on of advantages: Fiber density and low latency. Once the exchanges and carriers were there, it became the cheapest, fastest place to interconnect. A commonly cited figure is that a large share of global internet traffic still touches Loudoun. Proximity to Washington. Federal agencies, defense contractors, and intelligence work created early demand for secure computing nearby. Power and land. Dominion Energy power was relatively cheap and available. Eastern Loudoun still had large industrial parcels near Dulles when the boom started. Tax policy. Virginia added a sales-and-use tax exemption on data-center equipment (servers, generators, cooling, etc.) around 2008–2010. That became one of the state’s biggest economic-development incentives and made Virginia hard to beat on cost. Network effects. Each new data center made the next one more valuable, because customers want to be next to other networks, clouds, and content providers. So: AOL and MAE-East planted the flag in the 1990s. Cheap power, leftover fiber, DC proximity, and later tax breaks turned a local internet hub into the world’s largest data-center market. Ashburn/Loudoun is still the core; growth has since spilled into Prince William and other Virginia counties as land and power in the original alley got scarce.

  I'm old enough to remember the days when people said the internet would never catch on and just be a fad. Look how far we've come from dial-up and AOL. We're at a similar beginning now with AI. When change is unavoidable, you have to embrace it, if you are to survive.

  @spann They still suck. They distribute your content and you would think something like it being on MSN or yahoo AOL different platforms like that would be a sale. Nope that is a partners and they give it to them for free so you make zero dollars off of it. I happen to me. Literally one of the worst third-party brokers out.

  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.
