  This was back when the internet just started taking off. AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) was a black hole of possibilities. Information was being documented in one central place. Then social media connected us to people near and far that we never would've met otherwise.

  @malber1 Lol seriously. Do they even know what pop up blockers are? I've been online since the early 90s. I was an AOL master. I will not stand for whippersnapper **** talk either.

  16...💀 The other 4: Didn't had AOL, didn't use cheque book (still don't have one), saw a typewriter but didn't use, and I know someone who had a waterbed but again never used.

  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?

  @Matt_Pinner All but 2. No AOL address and no waterbed (I’ve sat on one but I’ve never slept on one). I still use some of the others e.g. I used a paper map last week,

  Stripe buying OR for $7B is either AOL/TimeWarner level stupid, or FBMeta buying Instagram level brilliance. No in between.

  @0xljki obviously there was demand for bandwidth in '99, most people or businesses had none (this is kinda binary and you had to lay pipes throughout the whole country) operationally, this was a high margin business - you lay the pipe once (expensive capex) & but then can AOL CDs to every households, with virtually no marginal cost for addtl customer. "compute buyers have high margins" - brother what have you been smoking. xAI (admittedly now a compute seller) is losing gazillions - maybe that's why they went from buying/producing compute to selling. OAI/ANT have no published financials but spoiler, they are losing billions per year 1/2
