  • AgarWoodCapital TTT Nguyen (@AgarWoodCapital) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    There can be no risk-free opportunity in sports, business or life. Failure is catastrophic bc of a lack of preparedness. Sears, DC redskins, Blackberry, AOL, & NYC knicks were at the top of their game, but they failed because they were afraid to fail. #failureispartofsuccess

  • bucketOfBuckets Connor McGowan (@bucketOfBuckets) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    @aklingus There was like a 6 month period in the mid 90s where AOL chat rooms were a fun place to hang out… and when you started a convo with someone you’d have to rapid fire emails back and forth because there was no private chat or instant message system

  • gatlingxyz Tavon (@gatlingxyz) reported from Huntington, Virginia

    I'd known about #DnD but never played. Not even the geeks/nerds in my school played, as far as I know. And most of my schools have always been predominantly Black, so there was no representation. (I did do a lot of text based RPing on AOL tho)

  • StepToTheMic Kodi Seaton (@StepToTheMic) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    Some of you have never spent a summer messaging a complete stranger on dial-up AOL Instant Messenger and it shows. 😫 #LoveIsBlindNetflix #loveisblind

  • HeySheckie Sheck'quon 🤷🏻‍♂️ (@HeySheckie) reported from Bethesda, Maryland

    @ESPN your iPad app is literally one of the worst playback devices I have ever used. It’s like watching video on a 1994 AOL dial up. app.

  • KarenCarolina84 Karen J (@KarenCarolina84) reported from Coral Hills, Maryland

    Why is my @aol email not working? 😢

  • laurenskahn Lauren Kahn #BringOnVaccineMandates! 😷 (@laurenskahn) reported from McLean Hamlet, Virginia

    banned. It happened to me over 10 years ago on the old #AOL travel message bds. I simply set up my own website & never involved myself with travel bds again. Some of the bullies became monitors on travel advisor's bds. W/o proper monitoring, sites become the domains of bullies.

  • RAVENSBlood5220 💜🖤Blood Girl🦇Raven💜🖤 (@RAVENSBlood5220) reported from East Riverdale, Maryland

    The Invasion angle should've been the most epic moment in Wrestling. Without all the major stars from WCW, it never lived up to those expectations. Very disappointing. There also was no Twitter to explain those AOL contracts for those stars too. #RuthlessAggression

  • ShirleyImMilk G. Double D. (@ShirleyImMilk) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    Were talking about “What cultural item are you older than” at work. We’re slow. So far, I’m older than MTv, AOL and VHS cassettes. This is a fun game to make me feel like I AM ACTUALLY THE OLDEST IN THE STORE. I don’t like this game... I’m taking my slap wraps and going home.

  • Helen_Highly HelenHighly (@Helen_Highly) reported from Alexandria, Virginia

    @Doc_Harding @Nerienis Perhaps their sudden popularity (and unprepared infrastructure) will destroy their success, like it did AOL back in the day with the busy-signal fiasco. 🫤

  • MarkBjorge Mark Bjorge (@MarkBjorge) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @ebooksyearn Even their status-title “network” is anachronistic in the modern telecom world. They’re like AOL back when it was a closed ecosystem.

  • KarenCarolina84 Karen J (@KarenCarolina84) reported from Coral Hills, Maryland

    @aol email is still down

  • RichardH1818 Richard Hanson ✡ (@RichardH1818) reported from Merrifield, Virginia

    Email server Recommendations anyone? AOL has been the host for mine--but now they've made it hard to use. They now put different, and very distracting, balloons at the beginning for each message. I don't want a message service that makes it harder.

  • SkeezeeWonder Anfernee Harlemway (@SkeezeeWonder) reported from Suitland, Maryland

    @freshleebaked Nah **** this I’m going back to AOL groupchats

  • JaydeColer Jayde Willow Coler🏳️‍⚧️ (@JaydeColer) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    He IS a security risk but I’d say he’s more like Netscape (old as shit and useless) or the old AOL software (kept around far longer than should have been because people liked the one catchphrase it had)

  • Messe3Christina Christina Sheryl Messenger (@Messe3Christina) reported from Alexandria, Virginia

    @AOLSupportHelp I have been trying to get to deactivate the my account but when I called Customer Support, they’d told me that I would not be able to deactivate it for a year!! 😭😭😭 Please help me!!

  • perk713 DatDudePerk (@perk713) reported from Springfield, Maryland

    If you never heard of Cingular Wireless, Wachovia Bank or AOL..Address me as Unc

  • JoelBurner1 📚The Paige Turner (@JoelBurner1) reported from Kensington, Maryland

    @MysterySolvent A fart horn. A small confederate flag & lapel pin (she would never ever wear in public.) And, the phone numbers of, Ron Watkins - "Q", Jim Watkins, AOL emails & Reddit names. Also, Madison Cawthorn's mothers cell.

  • MissInformation Heather Perram Frank BA (@MissInformation) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @annasproul I was one of a handful of producers in the Dulles, VA AOL newsroom on 9/11. The campus was evacuated after a plane that departed from the adjacent airport slammed into the Pentagon. I’ll never forgot having to sit on my hands because they were shaking so much I couldn’t type.

  • Jimbo3DC Jimbo (@Jimbo3DC) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @woolfhound That was precisely my experience with NYT, and it reminded me if when I had similar experiences trying to cancel my AOL or Bally's membership. Tacky and desperate.

    Hi @aolmail, my mother has AOL Desktop Gold, but she's forgotten her password. Is there someone she can call? Could you please give me the support number for AOL Desktop Gold? Thanks!

  • RedSocKill3r Jamel Rodriguez (@RedSocKill3r) reported

    @WiggsOfAndrew @KingJames MJ was as bad moron. MJ put ads on newspapers so he can tell the world he not getting calls. That's bcuz Twitter didn't exist then. There wasn't even Myspace. AOL was the only way of communicating to others around the world they chat rooms. Those were the days💯

  • drunescape1 drunescaped (@drunescape1) reported

    @alexisohanian Never. College or alum email will exist forever. Most of those addresses actually auto forward to whatever address you set. Your job email will change. Gmail, hotmail or aol are less professional. Made up email with your last name as domain seems more conceited.

  • gri999999 MG 🇺🇸 (@gri999999) reported

    @PolitiReality I was mid 30s in that era of AOL dominance and was slinging a portfolio if longs and shorts then. At no time did anyone ever think that AOL was dominant. Prodigy was pretty damn good. And at no time was AOL 5 years advanced from its competition. Tesla is at least that.

  • VeniceCasual Venice Casual (@VeniceCasual) reported

    All you kids want to wear 90s clothes and idolize Kurt Cobain but come talk to me when you bully someone on roller blades and then immediately **** your pants from the olestra in Lays wow chips. *flings an AOL cd rom at ya*😎

  • tspencer322 Spence ☕️ (@tspencer322) reported

    Come to AOL chat and try talking **** newb.

  • wigwagmag wig-wag 📽 (@wigwagmag) reported

    in 7th grade i hacked into my family’s AOL account and made it so that instead of saying “welcome” and “you’ve got mail” and “goodbye” it played clips from this album that i recorded from a tape player into the computers mic. my poor mom. she didn’t want to hear that ****

  • notaterrornerd Lena (@notaterrornerd) reported

    and its not like you know when you were 14 and in aol chat and just told everyone you were born in the 70s and the pervs pretended they couldnt tell you were a child its like birth year and videos of their primary school are right ******** there

  • PaytonMarina Marina Payton (@PaytonMarina) reported

    My 1st experience with automatic renewal was AOL. My aunt warned me, "They are so hard to quit." I joined anyway. When I wanted to quit, a handwritten letter was required before they stopped charging me! Now i never patronize any company that #AutoRenews.

  • ahteeter Aaron H Teeter (@ahteeter) reported

    @Iron_Man_Actual The State version, "Teams Talk," will undoubtedly just be AOL messenger with a camera icon that doesn't work. I do want to know if this new version of teams will respond for me so I don't have to attend a meeting that should have been an email? I'd pay $7 for that.
