  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.

  @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.

  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.

  @AOL The AOL 'news' has become very right-wing. It used to be fairly unbiased but now it's as bad as GB News.

  @HESaBSG @junkbondinvest Other than AOL, BS mainly picks up broken VC backed stories, or indies

  @N_and_ni We used books and went to college for computer science. You had to figure it out and there were no forums yet like stack overflow to tell you if your code was wrong. You’d text a guy you knew for answers on a 3 inch flip phone screen and you’d get on AOL voice chat or call them to figure it out. Hence why I became an engineer instead of a full time developer. It was really hard and most people I knew failed out of comp sci and became engineers. It used to be the hardest degree you could pick outside of advanced mathematics. I took years coding classes. HTML and CSS, C++, python and at the end of it you’d barely be able to code a calculator, card game or website and they looked like ****. I was the best web developer in my class and I still had a website that looked like I threw up on the screen because that’s all that the code would allow you to do. Lots of windows lots of boxes lots of squares in general. Everything was square and grids were big. Bright colors and ****** animations. But there were no rules. You could quite literally create anything you wanted and there was nobody to tell you no. I mean there were a dozen websites you could watch the Iraq war and people getting blown up. Crazy **** that doesn’t exist now or only on the dark web. They live streamed people dying and you’d go to school and there’d be some crazy *** video your buddies would show you that would scar you for years. We saw guys go record wars, dudes ******* all sorts of weird stuff, people hurting themselves and everyone had a crazy video and they never got taken down or suppressed. They were just there on Google if you searched for it. Everyone was creating the next big website similar to the AI craze. We didn’t have online Call of Duty you’d have to LAN party so we would build **** with our friends and you’d code all weekend in between halo and drinking at the dorms all weekend. Code all day then party all night and repeat. I was the infrastructure guy and I could build the hosting platform and my buddies would help me code while I did the network and servers. You’d actually have to hand out business cards in public once a business website launched because SEO wasn’t a thing yet. So you had to sell people in person. It was awesome. I wish we could go back.

  @nowellstradamus @munric @EliteClubS0B Agreed they didn’t capitalize on knight and they’re missing out on a generational heel with Logan Paul. I stopped watching long ago but I can’t help but notice the similarities today with tko/wwe and aol time warner/wcw. It’s not good.

  @DavidMWeissman @FadeAwayMedia well, his creative didn’t help, but WCW was a huge casualty of the AOL-Time Warner merger.

  @airtable raised at $11.7B in December 2021. This morning it agreed to be acquired by Bending Spoons at roughly $2.25B equity value, about 80% off the peak. Everyone's reading that as a collapse. It isn't. Airtable does ~$480M in ARR, growing 20%+ a year, across 500,000 organizations including 80% of the Fortune 100. If you described that business to someone without telling them the funding history, they'd call it excellent. So the company didn't fail. The 2021 price failed. And I think there's something worth taking from that if you're building right now. For about a decade, the scoreboard was the valuation. It was the thing that got tweeted, the thing that got you on the podcast, the thing that made you feel like you were winning. And it turned out to be the single most reversible number in the whole business. Revenue doesn't get revised down 80% by a change in interest rates. Paper does. Nobody is handing out 2021 valuations in 2026. That's not the loss it sounds like. It just means the only number left worth chasing is the one that was always real. Also worth watching: Bending Spoons has now bought AOL, Eventbrite and Airtable inside seven months. Somebody has noticed there's a whole generation of good software companies stranded above their last round, and has built an acquisition machine pointed directly at them.

  Bending Spoons is an Italian company that just bought Airtable for $1.2B 3 weeks after going public on Nasdaq. They already own AOL, Vimeo, Evernote, WeTransfer, Eventbrite, Brightcove, and about 50 other products. Revenue $1.3B in 2025, over $600M in Q1 2026 alone. Market cap briefly hit $25B. Their playbook: buy American tech icons at a fraction of their peak valuations, cut 75-85 percent of staff, raise prices, optimize margins. Evernote was bought for $200M after being valued at $1B. Eventbrite for $500M after IPOing at $1.76B. Vimeo for $1.38B. Now Airtable for $1.285B after being valued at $11.7B. The shopping list writes itself. Public SaaS is trading at 3-5x revenue, down from 18x in 2021. AI fear has crushed valuations across the board without distinguishing between companies that are actually threatened and those with deep workflow lock-in. Some categories that are mispriced right now: project management tools like Asana and Monday are trading at fractions of their peaks while still growing and serving enterprise customers. Collaboration and communication tools that have real user bases but stalled growth. Vertical SaaS companies where the software is deeply embedded in industry workflows that AI cannot easily replace. Developer tools with loyal communities but no path to the multiples their investors need. More European companies should be doing this. The 2021 vintage of overvalued American SaaS is a generational buying opportunity. These are real products with real revenue and real customers, just priced wrong because someone raised too much money at too high a valuation. The preference stack crushed the common holders and now the assets are available at good prices. Also, European companies have structural advantages here. Lower cost bases to operate these products and no pressure to hit Silicon Valley return multiples and operational discipline built from never having had the luxury of burning cash.
