  • 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.

  • CapitolRailfan William Bolan 🇺🇲🇺🇦 (@CapitolRailfan) reported from Germantown View, Maryland

    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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • AdamLovesFood Adam Levine (@AdamLovesFood) reported from Chantilly, Virginia

    5 Jobs I’ve had: 1. Intern / Mascot @ABC Kidzine on @AOL 2. Catering Staff at countless DC Caterers 3. Founder / Owner of JAM Productions and the Exchange VIPs 4. Sales/Service at @CustomInk 5. All things SEO @Appian

  • 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

  • NathanBacaTV Nathan Baca (@NathanBacaTV) reported from Germantown View, Maryland

    @LauraGellerTV You apparently didn’t see my smoke signal, can on a string or AOL Instant Message.

  • 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.

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

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

  • wardthreedc Ward Three DC (@wardthreedc) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @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

  • timothyjlarkin Timothy Larkin (@timothyjlarkin) reported from Olney, Maryland

    @BillSimmons Like trying to cancel AOL back in the day...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • DrTraceyK Dr. Tracey Perez Koehlmoos (@DrTraceyK) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    @cclareMDMPH Two. I never had an AOL address.

  • LisaPatelMD Lisa Patel, MD, MESc (@LisaPatelMD) reported

    @sspengem I feel so old. Just tried out mastodon and my god, I cannot do this all over again. AOL, Friendster, myspace, facebook, twitter. Want to throw it all in the garbage and meet in a big town square for a coffee face to face with actual human beings.

  • Ben_M_Berry Ben from the Internet (@Ben_M_Berry) reported

    @MerckxProject As for depending on the site to boost signal, of course they are. Twitter is the front page of the internet the way yahoo or google used to be and aol before it. As I said the Washington post subscription base is dwarfed by twitter and it’s user base

  • tweetercolorado KellyLovesColorado (@tweetercolorado) reported

    @Fivemil @CryptoLawyerz @pmarca As I recall he was originally trying to pitch a video game to Nintendo but thankfully in the end AOL was in the market to piss away it’s shareholders money on bad acquisitions like Netscape and Time Warner.

  • morganwarstler Morgan Warstler (@morganwarstler) reported

    @cemerick AOL's problem was that it wasn't publicly hosted and users didn't control their UX. That let you guys turn every ******* website into another app with a big red rope outside that said "you must be smart enough to figure out how to use this" You created so much inequality

  • RebornHoosier Colts Iron Man (@RebornHoosier) reported from Indianapolis, Indiana

    Programmatic advertising...one of the worst things about the internet and I hate my former employer #AOL for being apart of its creation.

  • RodMasters8 Rod Masters (@RodMasters8) reported

    @Calistadny "The crypto mining business is having difficulty" It's because crypto mining itself is unnecessary. Proof of stake is the second generation of crypto Blockchain. Faster & green no miners needed. Bitcoin will end up being the AOL of crypto. Will never see 20,000 again

  • BitterswtBunny Carrie (@BitterswtBunny) reported

    @FomonJosh @Azi @jack He knew Twitter wasn't sustainable. Musk is just taking it down faster. It will eventually be like AOL or Yahoo. And something new will fill in the void. Hopefully not owned by a fascist regime.

  • CptBeano AB (@CptBeano) reported

    @robwein @3YearLetterman @AOC Whoa there, Bobby Winnie…….don’t bash women OR COACH. Take a page outa coach’s playbook….he’s a big lover of women. He has a paid off waterbed too. Suggest you issue an apology to AOL before she asks the US House of Parliament to ban all yore anti-women books.

  • justbeinpetty justbeinpetty🎸 🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦 (@justbeinpetty) reported

    @ThatEricAlper Amazon was around in 94? ****, i think I still had dial up aol back then… 😬🤓

  • TheGreyGatsbyy Edilo Joseph Gatsby "The Grey Gatsby" (@TheGreyGatsbyy) reported

    @Muskelsmurf Nintendo in general has a very bad online presence. Their E Shop is slower than the AOL sign in dial up days
