  @lady_valor_07 @Yahoo @MSN AOL and dail up - refuse to call it the good old days but it was something. You knew that it was the beginning, but you didn't know of what. Could never have foreseen the internet in 2026 that is for sure.

  No kidding on that one. I still remember having dial up with #AOL. Also, the bottom one should say 'you don't know what slow is,' or 'you have much to learn'.

  The weirdest AI-era market signal today was not a model launch. It was Wall Street cheering AOL’s new parent. Bending Spoons, the Italian roll-up behind AOL, Vimeo, Eventbrite and other “old internet” brands, ripped on its first trading day. Shares were up as much as 52% and closed about 40% above the IPO price, according to WSJ coverage. That matters because this was supposed to be the era where only frontier AI labs and zero-to-one startups get rewarded. But public markets are sending a different message: if AI makes software cheaper to build, then existing distribution gets more valuable, not less. Users, billing relationships, search traffic, archives, brand memory, and neglected products with real audiences suddenly look like underpriced assets. The winners may not just be the companies inventing new AI tools. They may also be the operators buying tired digital properties and rebuilding them with AI, automation, and brutal cost discipline. Watch for more money to chase AI-enabled roll-ups, not just AI-native apps. The next big tech winners might look less like inventors and more like private-equity-style owners of forgotten internet real estate. Is this just an IPO pop, or the first real sign that AI rewards ownership and distribution more than novelty?

  @muheediva01 I couldn't afford AOL but I was 20 years old, stupid, living in the ATL and was up to no good on a daily basis. Not sure how I even survived 95.

  Mel misses the point, perhaps even by sincere error. It's not nostalgia for limited programs. I'm sure there are some people who want to go back to AOL, but that's not the point. It's that we have come to recognize that being parked in front of a screen for most of the day is bad for even an adult, much less a child. So many of us are nostalgic for a day when we weren't online all the time. Personally, I'm also old enough to remember when I was called socially deficient for reading all the time, just because my books were more interesting than my peers. I was in eighth grade before I found friends who liked even some of what I enjoyed. Being online isn't automatically bad, but if you don't exercise self-control you'll find it controls you. That's being terminally online -- when it defines you, more than anything else.

  @90sWWE 1997 "The year of the goose" Grey Goose for Tammy unfortunately. She's rotting in an Ocalla Florida prison for DUI vehicular homicide. 7th offense. No liscence, no insurance, boyfriends car. Sad story in this biz. Most DL'd AOL star to orange jumpsuit. -**** poster

  @RetiredLifeNC @pokey_chi @Ashton_1nvests The problem is finding winners in hindsight always looks like a mistake. Imagine holding and never selling AOL.

  @JebraFaushay Mergers have a nasty habit of not working out. I am thinking of Time Warner's disastrous marriage to AOL, but there are a myriad of examples.
