    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.

    @robertoblake I went to college pre internet. We had large computers with floppy disks, DOS command prompt, loud, vibrating dot matrix printers and slow screechy modems. This was before Windows and IE. Before email. Before AOL. Before NETZERO. Before Yahoo Messenger.

    @chucktodd They were successful because they pivoted so well. They started as an online gaming store for Atari, but learned from each failure and found the real customer need. Learn the AOL origin story in today’s thread

    @smallfeetpetss Netscape never had the IPO or following / business model that AOL did.. I owned AOL at the IPO. Sold it at $50. Will never forget it. OpenAi will “still be around” for a long time. That’s not my point. My point is its business model doesn’t work when the competition is so fierce. The ROI isn’t tenable I bet you it’s trading 1/2 of wherever it prices in it IPO a year afterwards

    @GrantLavac @JonStewartIL your aol address is gone. Get a new one, then never ever use it - use email aliases instead. Proton, Norton & others provide them aplenty.

    @gainzy222 Never forget the sound of AOL connecting to the internets

    @itsme_urstruly We used to dial into a BBS that would have a gateway to the www and were happy, thrilled! Didn't need aol, or even an ISP. Then commerce took over. Every ******* corp under the sun brought their bullshit, and the public ate it all up...

    Around that time, a movie called You've Got Mail was very popular. It is a love story about a man and a woman who fall in love by exchanging e-mails even though they have never met in person. In the movie, they used AOL as their Internet provider.

    @ehtreasurer No launches on aol anymore . How bout that ? Why is no one launching coins on that **** platform . Why is there no volume ? Why is no one engaging with aol tweets ? Dam you must be the dumbest person alive or you are part of the scam . I’ve never seen anyone get rugged and congratulate the team like you did with revolution. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
