  • JamesZekis James Zekis (@JamesZekis) reported from Oak Park, Illinois

    @TheNotoriousLEX My memories of that race is mostly being in AOL chat rooms with people screaming at each other about steroids and Chip Caray with the worst HR call in history when McGwire broke the record. I don't want a documentary to color my experience.

  • via_southside Golly I’m Gully 🇱🇷 (@via_southside) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    ****, AOL Cuties and Thugs chat days.

  • WahidTazudeen Wahid Tazudeen (@WahidTazudeen) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I don’t know why my internet is running so slow. I have the latest version of Netscape Navigator installed with AOL webcrawler as backup.

  • greenSLLIME 🤮ghoul🤮 (@greenSLLIME) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I keep a drawer full of broken aol discs to cut a ***** wit

  • TRIhunna #TriHerbal Woman✨ (@TRIhunna) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    Please 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

  • IamEricT IamEric+ Streaming Service only 4.99/month (@IamEricT) reported from River Forest, Illinois

    @swyx @jaredpalmer First software I ever wrote in Corp America was to make sure a large Telco could create a bill supporting that many digits… the intended customer persona: AOL

  • donjensenep Don P. Jensen Jr (@donjensenep) reported from Elmwood Park, Illinois

    @J0hnnyXm4s I think the problem here people are too use o 40 or less characters. It is also difficult for many to type what they want for fear of that digital trail. We have also come to the point were us old school bbs and aol chat room people are becoming less and less. I often have to

  • IvanVega IvanVega.eth ✨ (@IvanVega) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @alcidezx3 had my name as well (IvanVega1) but there were others. We never just had one. Was @DoctaSlick your AOL handle, Nikki? 🤔

  • KingThelonious Thelonious Martin™ (@KingThelonious) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @streamlabs Not maintaining 30FPS resulting my streams looking like I’m on AOL connection. I wasn’t having that issue before.

  • AdamKoralik Adam Koralik (@AdamKoralik) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @RNeedre @AOL I've never found one for sale to be honest.

  • thelastpinkcar Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    Geez @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.

  • _MissValdes The Pillowhouse Princess of Lys (@_MissValdes) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I’m just waiting for Nelly’s shit to start making the aol startup sound.

  • SFLApodcast Starfleet Leadership Academy (@SFLApodcast) reported

    @proverbialcat @straczynski He was a real pioneer in that space. AOL chats and stuff like that became more commonplace after that, but at this point, I don’t remember a lot of direct contact with network creators online

  • skylergosson Leon Garber (@skylergosson) reported

    @RocketMan333358 @sondraa @noowaayyjose Wtf? Are we back on AOL instant Messenger in 1999?

  • wanyinbot Jiang Cheng (@wanyinbot) reported

    Jin Ling. Come help me guess Wei Wuxian's AOL password

  • DiggsIncdesign Aaron Merritt (@DiggsIncdesign) reported

    @discord Your product is terrible. Constant lock outs, a three week waiting period to get a customer service response that did nothing to help. An absolute cluster **** of a company. I would rather us AOL messenger.

  • FFaxhdr maryhelen (@FFaxhdr) reported

    @bluenamicomin That’s terrible. I remember the old AOL dialup from the late 1990s. Definitely time for you to have an upgrade.

  • freakservo Freakservo 🔞🎮🕹️ (@freakservo) reported

    @Unshuldshasherl @JustmeMandi Ah, I getcha, My sister and I loved the concept when Lingo re-booted on the Game Show Network in 2002, and we even made our own custom version to play over AOL Instant Messenger. By the time Wordle happened, Lingo was long out of my system and I stopped after 3 weeks. =p

  • HandsomeRandall TheHandsomeRandall (@HandsomeRandall) reported

    @Marcbuffbagwell @LashCanDraw So glad AOL never merged with WebMD. "You've Got mail" was annoying enough. Imagine typing in your symptoms, and get the announcement "You've got Herpes."

  • LemoineRob Rob LeMoine (@LemoineRob) reported

    @schrockg Blockbuster, busted, AOL, "Hasta la vista, baby, Netflix never gonna survive.

  • rich_halvey Rich Halvey (@rich_halvey) reported

    @RayLorettoJr Sad story. I was an early adopter of AOL. They offered $10,000 in shares before the IPO. I asked professional investors. They all said bad idea. So I passed. When AOL merged with Time-Warner, that $10K would have been worth $3 million. Big wins come when you see what others don't
