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.

#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

Aremu Azeez (@aremz04) reportedThere's a line in The Lean Startup that stung when I read it last week: "learning" is the oldest excuse in the book for a failure of execution. Eric Ries tells the story of IMVU's first product. His team spent six months building an instant-messaging add-on, based on a genuinely smart-sounding strategy: piggyback on existing IM networks (AOL, Yahoo!, MSN), ride their network effects, spread virally through people's existing friend lists. Whiteboard-brilliant. They launched. Nobody used it. When they finally sat real customers down in front of the product, every assumption fell apart. Customers weren't scared of learning new software - the average teenager ran eight IM clients at once. They didn't want to chat with existing friends through avatars - they wanted to meet strangers. The "obvious" barrier the whole strategy was built around wasn't a barrier at all. Ries's point isn't "test more." It's sharper than that: in a startup, any effort that doesn't produce evidence about what customers actually want is waste - no matter how well it's executed. He calls the real version of this validated learning, to separate it from the after-the-fact story you tell yourself when something doesn't work. I'm sitting in a smaller version of that exact test right now with Owoye. One of the assumptions baked into the product is that WhatsApp and IG sellers want their invoices auto-matched to incoming payments. It sounds obviously useful from where I sit. But that's precisely the position IMVU's team was in - certain, and wrong, about what would remove friction for their customer. So this week will not be spent refining the feature. It will be spent in conversations with actual sellers, watching how they track who's paid right now - screenshots, memory, WhatsApp scrollback - before deciding whether "auto-match" solves their problem or just mine. The uncomfortable question worth asking about your own product this week: is the thing you're building solving a problem your customer has, or a problem you have with how your customer works?

Carlos Ferrero (@IHave3Chickens) reported@Matt_Pinner I never had an AOL address. All the rest? Yep.

TyWebb'sLumberyard (@JohnnyRingo1625) reported@AngelaBelcamino Never used a dating app but did find my wife indirectly through an aol chat room.

Paul R Cavanaugh (@PauliCavanaugh) reported@dotkrueger You people are acting like the fanatics who occupied the last days of every bubble in history. I remember seeing the same lunatics saying AOL stock would rise to $1000 and beyond around 1999. "It's all different now stupid!" I know many of you are on margin. You'll not recover from this.
-
tmnxeq (@tmnxeq) reported@0xljki obviously there was demand for bandwidth in '99, most people or businesses had none (this is kinda binary and you had to lay pipes throughout the whole country) operationally, this was a high margin business - you lay the pipe once (expensive capex) & but then can AOL CDs to every households, with virtually no marginal cost for addtl customer. "compute buyers have high margins" - brother what have you been smoking. xAI (admittedly now a compute seller) is losing gazillions - maybe that's why they went from buying/producing compute to selling. OAI/ANT have no published financials but spoiler, they are losing billions per year 1/2

Edward (@EdwardV29401) reported@Matt_Pinner 18 as never had a water bed or slept on one and never had an aol email address.

Berly (@BerlyBurly) reported@Matt_Pinner 19. Never had an aol email…at least not that I remember.

$XRPARMY (@JoshMcKinney18) reported@Ripplesinwales They have no choice — adapt or get left behind. What we’re really watching is the same shift that hit the stock market in the late 90s. I jumped on E*TRADE right around the time AOL went mainstream in 1998. That was the moment the “do-it-yourself” crowd said forget the middleman (stock brokers) and moved to online trading. The ones who understood cut out the middle and kept more of the profit. The ones who didn’t just stayed with the old system. The exact same divide is unfolding again right now on the banking side — bank custody vs self-custody.

\m/-=3Đ∇サ=-\m/ (@CargoShortLife) reportedThis will fail. MySpace was founded by ******* spammers with a stolen email list. I knew them personally. This is just the animated corpse of AOL and Yahoo trying to get a single cent out of what's left....pathetic
