  @llandoniffirg 18, unless you count a word processor typewriter as a typewriter then 19. I purposefully never had an AOL account. I remember when the AO-HELLERS first came online back before the web; the days of Archie, ELM, Veronica, and chat boards. I'd have added BBS to the list though.

  @muheediva01 I'm telling everyone not to invest in Google stocks. Worthless search engine only old teachers use like an Encyclopedia. Worthless ****. Sink all your money into AOL. They have everything you ever wanted in a browser.

  I think David Zaslav will go down in media history, with Steve Case, as the two greatest salesmen to ever rip off clueless suitors. Case convinced Time Warner/Gerald Levin that AOL was far more valuable than it was, and Zaslav sold Warner Brothers Discovery for a ruinous price.

  @Terry_Hendrix I am too young for BBS (seriously). I tried it once when I was 12 and on an AOL trial but never got anywhere.

  $ASTS 🚀 The biggest opportunity in space isn’t rockets. It’s the infrastructure being built around them. Think back to the early days of the internet. Most investors focused on companies people could see—Yahoo, AOL, Google. But behind every website was an invisible network of fiber optic cables, servers, networking equipment and data centers. Without that infrastructure, there would be no internet. Space is beginning to follow the same blueprint. Imagine a brand-new city. Nobody builds shopping malls first. Nobody opens restaurants before roads exist. First come the highways. Then electricity. Water pipes. Communication networks. Only after the foundation is complete do businesses move in. Space works the same way. Satellites are becoming the roads and communication networks above Earth. Every successful launch adds another piece of infrastructure that governments and businesses may depend on for the next 10-15 years. 🚀 Rocket Lab $RKLB builds the transportation system. Think of it like a construction company building highways before cars can drive on them. Without reliable launches, nothing else reaches orbit. Now, by acquiring Iridium, Rocket Lab isn’t just building the highway—it also owns part of the communication network already operating on it, creating recurring revenue beyond launches. 📡 AST SpaceMobile $ASTS is solving one of the biggest communication problems on Earth. Imagine you’re hiking on a mountain, sailing across the Pacific, or driving through the Australian Outback. Normally your phone becomes useless. AST wants your existing smartphone to connect directly to satellites without changing your phone or installing new equipment. If successful, billions of phones instantly become part of a global satellite network. 🌍 Planet Labs $PL doesn’t sell rockets or internet. It sells information. Imagine a farmer managing 100,000 acres. Instead of driving across every field, satellites tell him exactly where crops need water or fertilizer. Insurance companies can estimate hurricane damage within hours instead of weeks. Governments monitor borders. Military agencies track activity. The product isn’t the satellite. The product is the data. That’s recurring revenue. The exciting part isn’t today’s launches. It’s what those satellites unlock tomorrow. AI. Defense. Autonomous vehicles. Global internet. Weather forecasting. Navigation. Financial markets. Precision agriculture. Entire industries that don’t even exist yet. Twenty years ago, cloud computing looked expensive and unnecessary. Today almost every business runs on it. Tomorrow, satellites may quietly become just as essential. Sometimes the greatest investment isn’t the company everyone notices. It’s the company building the invisible infrastructure that everyone else eventually depends on. 🚀

  Stay the F away from @watchcommnet ! Use starlink, aol, dialup, *anything* else! When I get ahold of customer support they are wonderful, but getting to is near impossible. 40 minute wait times. Hung up after holding for 1 hour 27 minutes. Get a voicemail, etc.. #hell

  I would never join BlueSky, it would be much much better to put a second sim card in my phone and have my followers have this new phone number. I was tech-social before AOL, MSN and BBM and it was just fine.

  i don't buy the "ai search replaces Google" thesis. the data says the opposite is happening. Cloudflare Radar, may 2026: every ai chatbot — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity — sends 0.29% of global search referrals. Google sends 87.63%. 301-to-1. Anthropic's ClaudeBot crawls 11,122 pages for every human visit it returns vs Google's 5:1. Alphabet Q1 2026 filing: Google search revenue $60.4B, +19% yoy, up from +17% in Q4. ai overviews hit 2.5B monthly users; ai mode crossed 1B. alphabet says ai overviews monetize at rates "similar to traditional search" (june 2026 investor presentation). the kill-google thesis is showing up as negative signal in the actual p&l. Perplexity — the consensus poster child — killed its entire ad business in feb (Financial Times, The Verge). ads generated $20K against $34M revenue. exec quote: "a user would just start doubting everything." a company that can't make advertising work cannot disrupt a $60B/quarter advertising business. the consensus pusher worth countering specifically — @sarahdingwang at a16z, who led Exa's $250M Series C at $2.2B in may. her line: "agents will search the web more than humans this year. soon orders of magnitudes more." historical analog — Netscape 1994-98. the next platform that would reduce windows to "a poorly debugged set of device drivers." 80% share, record ipo. microsoft bundled IE for free. netscape sold to AOL for scrap. the company that captured the value was the one everyone thought netscape would displace — Google, founded 1998 — the services layer above the commodity. counter-position: ai search isn't replacing Google. Google is becoming ai search. standalone players are fighting netscape's war while the incumbent absorbs the tech into a surface 2.5B people already use. investor read: Exa at $2.2B and Perplexity at $22B are priced for a market-share takeover the referral data says isn't happening. the smarter bet is the layer that monetizes the ai-overview expansion Google is driving.
