AOL Outage in Springfield, Fairfax County, Virginia

@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.

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)

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

@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.

@nbcwashington Not to mention... jobs are always fluctuating in the NOVA/DC area. Just look at the horrible Yahoo!/AOL deal Verizon did now resulting in 10,000 "voluntarily" firings. Unknown how many are in the D.C. area.... I would guess many... but could be wrong.

@RyanMRuark @AOL @Outlook @gmail I don’t want to have to do any more remote tech support. They can’t screw up @ubuntu.

@RyanMRuark @AOL @Outlook @gmail I’m from the southern edge of Silicon Valley. It was almost as bad. (Awful cable and phone service.) Also, I’m installing Linux on their desktop when I’m back for Christmas without telling them.

@aolmail ONCE AGAIN, email is down. THIS HAPPENS FAR TOO FREQUENTLY!

@aolmail ONCE AGAIN, email is down. THIS HAPPENS FAR TOO FREQUENTLY!

I've spent so much time on the phone with tech support that I qualify for 10 free AOL startup discs.

Almost as bad as AOL

does anyone remember their internet friends growing up? like on prodigy or aol? lol. i want to meditate and try to remember the deep conversations that were so formative. it was like, dear diary 2.0 because you never wanted to meet them but you did want to learn from them.

@BradleyWhitford “The AOL dial-up octave.” I’ll never listen to the song the same way.

@MoonOverlord @ElrondNetwork Only thing Ethereum has going for it at this point is it was here first, but so was myspace,netscape and AOL.. 😬 its to slow and expensive to scale and trying to force 2.0 isn't going to help.. Elrond pushing 15k TPS Ethereum pushing 15... #ScreenshotIt

@jonathanvswan @Stonekettle Who ******** still uses AOL?

@GodHamgod @JamelHerring Wasn't even so much that, their leadership (or lack thereof) was awful. I started at the company at the time of the Time/Warner Bros. merger and it was terrific. Went to crap when AOL entered the mix.

@centernovel @steamtug7 No one cares about my fantast league, but 27 years into it, one of the owners (in the middle, agewise; he's 57 or so) has never changed his AOL email.

@suterb42 @GerdDuerner @PulpLibrarian "Service" or "system," right. Delphi, GEnie, Compuserve, Prodigy, and . . . AOL. The Well, Echo, Mindvox.

@JamelHerring Awful memories! I worked for a Time Warner-owned print house back then, around the time the AOL/TW merger went through. All employees were issued 250 shares of what became worthless stock. That 2+ yr disaster couldn't end quick enough.

@JamelHerring Awful memories! I worked for a Time Warner-owned print house back then, and that fight was right around the time the AOL/TW merger went through. All employees were issued 250 shares of what became worthless stock. That 2+ yr disaster couldn't end quick enough.

@dashingdrewster I am getting a pulse so you must be OK. I have a Verizon account through AOL and in my experience AOL email pretty much just shuts down after Midnight
