  Connor McGowan (@bucketOfBuckets) reported 7 minutes ago 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

  Ok you new generation kids: What is AOL, and what did it used to stand for? What service did AOL have until recently? Do you know what a "dial up" is? Submit your answers below.

  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.

  @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.

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

  @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.

  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.

  @jstrandt Got to film their 5 millionth sign up party at KaloramaStudios in Adams Morgan and they never paid me! I went on Aol because my dad was CompuServe and I didn’t wanna be old LOL

  @AOL Why have I been seeing “We’re having trouble connecting with our servers. Please try again later,” for about a day now?

  @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.

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

  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.

  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

  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)

  @DrDaymarcus I did not know that AOL had dial up service until 2025. Sources?

  AOL never asked me for more storage and I have emails for over 20 years….. why Gmail gotta do me like that 😫

  My Full Name is uh.. (@t14159) reported 14 minutes ago

  @brockpierson That modem is too new. It doesn't have any microphones. Go back to the source with an acoustic coupler modem. Of course, you're going to have a little trouble getting a working telephone handset and analog phone line. At least the AoL CDs will be easy to find.

  @RealAlexJones Viruses are boring. I used punters on AOL, NetBus, and Sub7 on IRC victims. I made a script on mIRC, and when someone /joins the #channel, it would send them porn.exe; when they for sure open it, it would pop up a MsgBox "porn is broken rofl.", vbCritical, "oops". #1337h4x0r

  Asymmetric Edge Research (@AsymEdge) reported 21 minutes ago

  @2147mill The problem with the normie test is that the internet passed it in 1999 too. Totally non techy families were on AOL back then as well, over 20 million of them by the end of 1999. Amazon went from 17 million customers to 25 million between 1999 and 2001 and nearly doubled revenue, and the stock still lost 94% over those two years. So usage only tells you the thing is real. For the bubble question I look at what people pay for the earnings. Cisco was over 100x forward at the 2000 top, Nvidia is under 20x right now. Same thing with the crypto half of your post by the way. Nobody uses gold day to day either and that never made gold a bubble.

  @brockpierson If you had AOL or CompuServe, you had to connect with a modem. At some point PCs shipped with integrated modems, but yes, I rocked one of those bad boys as well.
