#TriHerbal Woman✨ (@TRIhunna) reported from Chicago, IllinoisPlease update your app. It’s AOL dial up type slow @ShopifySupport. It literally crashes every 3 commands. Also, it would behoove you to make it an option to be able to print labels/ packing slips in bulk as opposed to which day they’re purchased Printing shouldn’t be a hassle

Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, IllinoisGeez @verizon I pay $330/month for 6 devices on a family plan, and I can only use my jetpack for approximately two weeks of normal internet usage, and then you slow me down to pre-AOL dial-up speeds. Just hate this. That's not fair at all.

Jorge Ortiz (@JorgeO) reported@goingforbrooke but when everyone in the US had aim (bc aol was so popular as an isp), everyone in europe + latam had msn messenger (because hotmail was so popular as free email with free storage, when your isp email had no storage and would change if you changed isps). so also network effects.

Dhruv (@dhruvakharia) reportedThe 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?

Wendy (@Wendyfrigeri) reported@lady_valor_07 @Yahoo @MSN I screeched when Prodigy left the USA as at that point we had to get AOL accounts, which were garbage & only got worse.

ardizor 🧙♂️ (@ardizor) reportedSPACEX IS THE FINAL LIQUIDITY EVENT BEFORE IT ALL BREAKS The most overvalued market in 100 years and retail is still buying This pattern has appeared before every major crash in modern history. Not most of them. All of them. Dot-com: internet was real, Nasdaq lost 78% Housing: real estate was real, $8 trillion disappeared AI: technology is real just like the others were The technology being real has never stopped the bubble from bursting Now SpaceX enters at $2.35 trillion, 95% of shares still locked, insider supply hitting the market on a fixed schedule starting in August Every major bubble had one final moment where retail money got pulled into the most exciting trade imaginable right before everything collapsed Dot-com had AOL. Housing had mortgage-backed securities. AI has SpaceX. Same movie. Different cast. Final act. I've called every major top and bottom for 15 years, including the $16K bottom and the $126K top both publicly, both before they happened The next call will be even more important I'll post it here publicly like I always do Turn notifications on - if you're not following yet, you'll understand why that was a mistake later

liberty91362 (@liberty91362) reported@brivael I worked at Time Warner for 24 years, and lost hundreds of thousands of my 401k in the infamous AOL merger that killed off the greatest media company in the world—the worst merger in corporate history. I mostly blame Steve Case and his other AOL cronies, who dumped all their stock right at the merger, while all the TW Execs and employees kept their stock and lost billions. I remember McKinsey’s empty suits seemed to be everywhere at Time Warner in its dying years, and it always seemed like McKinsey helped orchestrate its collapse.

MidLifeVirus (@MidLifeVirus) reportedOne of the small things that I am proud of. I don’t become a raging douchbag online. What I am online is the exact same person you’ll find in real life. For I understand a keyboard is not an all access pass to being an *******. Too bad so many today never had a fight in a nickel arcade because some weird douchbag wouldn’t stop bumping into you while you’re trying to beat PAC Man. Too bad so many today have never enjoyed the killing fields of chat rooms in AOL. Too bad.

Levity (@LevityODonnell) reported@ThreeUK Sort your **** mobile broadband network out in South Manchester. I had better service with my AOL rom disc and dial up in Y2K.

Trillionaire mindset (@TrillieAF) reportedAnd btw y’all aol IM for my friends and I was the coolest thing in middle school, then it faded. So by the time we were in HS literally no one cared or used it. Maybe casually in freshman year? Everyone just wanted to hang out in person instead which was way cooler. The by sr yr
