  • 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

  • _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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • PrettyHighnTall B Shiesty (@PrettyHighnTall) reported

    I realy can't express how much I hate the fact that some SM shows when you online like that **** is so AOL 😒

  • wtflanksteak Two Time Emmy Winner Ali B (@wtflanksteak) reported

    these kinds of tiktoks are no different than AOL forwards in the 90s that told women that someone was hiding under their cars in parking lots. it's the same fearmongering that riles up (typically white) women to lock down their neighborhoods.

  • jonpaulmaki Jon Maki (@jonpaulmaki) reported

    The fact that I wasn't fazed made him angrier. "I have 36 employees, and they all use AOL and I'm going to encourage them to cancel!" Me: Okay. Is there anything else I can do for you today? Him: That's 37 customers you'll be losing! Why doesn't that bother you?

  • twobitidiot Ryan Selkis 🥷 (@twobitidiot) reported

    Imagine if Congress had regulated the internet with only Microsoft and AOL in mind. That's what bad defaults in crypto policy could do to web3. We can't hinder startup and emerging protocol growth, even if the bad headlines persist. We need a sandbox.

  • skhanyz Shahzad Khan, PhD (@skhanyz) reported

    @amnaukhan I guess I never really grew up then. You missed AOL, ICQ, IRC, UseNet ... and there was a time we would need to put pen to paper, and entrust the post to.. well an actual postal worker

  • sfzombie13 ralph headroom #BlackLivesMatter (@sfzombie13) reported

    @J0hnnyXm4s aol is still central to a lot of folks, had a customer just last week that uses it mainly. i've always thought linkedin was just professional facebook too, maybe they're all just merging together slowly...

  • SleptMoNSeattle I Think I Internet Wrong (@SleptMoNSeattle) reported

    I remember the era clearly. AOL IM all of a sudden had people who had never had opportunity to talk reach out randomly and tell each other “I’ve never had the chance to talk to anyone outside of my country before, what is it like where you live?” It was a paradigm shift.

  • garyblack00 Gary Black (@garyblack00) reported

    @squawksquare $TWTR buyout will go down as the worst deal since TWX-AOL. 91% of TWTR revs come from advertising. You can’t just wave a wand and make the rev mix user fee-based. That’s like dating a guy the opposite of any you’ve ever dated and thinking you can change him into the perfect male.

  • KarenFixCurry Karen Fix Curry (@KarenFixCurry) reported

    @RevJDubya AOL was the worst when I handled my Dad’s estate. They locked it out and wouldn’t accept a death certificate as proof. My mother ended up losing all contact with friends at a very difficult time.

  • shanytc Shany Golan (@shanytc) reported

    @garyblack00 @squawksquare Worst than aol-netscape ?
